Study Notes
Antigen-Presenting Cells (APCs)
- Dendritic cells are the principal inducer of T-dependent responses in the immune system.
- Dendritic cells express high levels of MHC molecules and costimulators, making them the most potent APC for activating naive T lymphocytes.
Innate Immune Response
- Neutrophils accumulate at sites of infection in innate immune responses and are important for effector T cells, especially of the helper T cell lineage.
Antigen Presentation
- Dendritic cells are capable of migrating to lymph nodes, where they encounter naive T cells poised to recognize antigens.
