Abstract:
The central position of antigen presenting cells (APC) in the immune system and the heterogeneity of the APC family are discussed; both aspects are illustrated with data from species other than the pig. Thereafter the limited work on porcine APC is reviewed. The section on B-cells, the effector cells of the humoral immune system, exclusively focuses on 'porcine data'.
