Dendritic Cell

Antigen-presenting cells of the immune system, characterized by their tree-like projections, crucial for initiating adaptive immune responses.

Key Functions:

• Captures and processes antigens.
• Presents antigens to T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes.
• Initiates and modulates primary immune responses.
• Links innate and adaptive immunity.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Immune System (key antigen-presenting cell)
• Antigen (presents)
• T-lymphocyte (activates)
• B-lymphocyte (activates)
