Dendritic cells (DCs) are one of the major antigen-presenting cells found in lymphoid organs. Main function of the dendritic cells is antigen display and activation of T-cells. Antigen display presents the identity of pathogen to T-cells for their identification and elimination from the body. These cells have proficiency of capturing and processing tumor antigens, which activates expression of lymphocyte co-stimulatory molecules. Consequently, it results in secretion of cytokines to initiate ... Read more
