Definition
English
:
A heterogeneous group of immunocompetent cells that mediate the cellular immune response by processing and presenting
antigens
to the T-cells. Traditional
antigen-presenting cells
include
MACROPHAGES
;
DENDRITIC CELLS
;
LANGERHANS CELLS
; and
B-LYMPHOCYTES
. FOLLICULAR
DENDRITIC CELLS
are not traditional
antigen-presenting cells
, but because they hold
antigen
on their cell surface in the form of IMMUNE COMPLEXES for B-cell recognition they are considered so by some authors.
