Dendritic cells are key immune cells in vertebrates. Recent findings clarify their accessory mechanisms, explaining their potent T-cell stimulation and roles in immunity and disease.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Dendritic cells are recognized as principal accessory cells in the vertebrate immune system.
  • The precise biological mechanisms underlying dendritic cell accessory functions have been largely unclear until recently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings that elucidate the dendritic cell accessory mechanism.
  • To provide a basis for understanding the potent T-cell stimulating capacity of dendritic cells.
  • To offer insights into the ontogeny and immunopathological roles of dendritic cells.

Main Methods:

  • Review of in vivo and in vitro studies.
  • Synthesis of recent research findings on dendritic cell biology.

Main Results:

  • Clarification of several aspects of the dendritic cell accessory mechanism.
