Abstract:
The present article summarizes studies aimed at addressing the role of antigen-presenting cell populations, particularly dendritic cells (DC), in the immune response to Salmonella typhimurium. Data from in vitro studies shed light on presentation of antigens expressed in Salmonella on major histocompatibility complex class I and class II molecules by infected DC and macrophages, and the activation state of DC following infection. Finally, data from in vivo studies addressing the role of DC and defined DC subsets during the host response to Salmonella using a murine infection model are discussed.

Antigen Presenting Cells
T cells require the help of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which process foreign antigens into smaller fragments that can be recognized by T cells. These APCs are highly specialized cells that efficiently internalize antigens...

Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...
