Phagocytosis of antigens by Langerhans cells
<p>Mature dendritic cells (DC) isolated from lymphoid tissues initiate antigen-specific T-dependent responses even though they are non-phagocytic and weakly pinocytic, whereas Langerhans cells (LC; immature DC) can process protein antigens but are poorly immunostimulatory. Thus antigens may b...
