Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of dendritic cells in the immune response?
  • Step 1: Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell found in tissues throughout the body.
  • Step 2: They capture foreign substances called antigens (like bacteria or viruses) that enter the body.
  • Step 3: After capturing the antigens, dendritic cells process them and prepare them for presentation.
  • Step 4: Dendritic cells then move to the lymph nodes, where they present the processed antigens to T cells.
  • Step 5: When T cells recognize the antigens presented by dendritic cells, they become activated.
  • Step 6: Activated T cells then help coordinate the immune response to fight off the infection.
