Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are potent Antigen Presenting Cells (APC) distributed among many tissues, including non lymphoid organs: epidermis, heart, liver, lung and gut and lymphoid organs: blood, lymph, tonsil, thymus (1). DC can present antigen to T cells and then induce strong T cell-mediated immune responses (2).
