A virus-like particle engineered to deliver cancer-specific antigens [molecule, complex or fragment with potential trigger an immune response] to dendritic cells of the immune system which will in turn activate an attack by T cells on the tumour

Dendritic cells functions

Dendritic cells origin and functions. T-Lymphocytes and Dendritic cells are cells which form an adaptive immune system. Dendritic cells are white blood cells. Dendritic cells are lymphocytes. They originate from bone marrow lymphatic stem cells. Dendritic cells functions: Dendritic cells analyse pathogens or infection and present the information to B Cells in chemical signals and through serface…

Made the mistake of re-watching Cells at Work and he grabbed me by the throat.

Synaps! (He/Him)

He’s the boss of my white blood cell ocs. He’s a tyrannical dendritic cell who hates disappointment.

He uses electric shocks for communicating orders and attacks.

i wish i could hyperfixate on my JOB.

Why he go from ☺🤭😋 to 😐😦😨

I asked my friend to bald dendritic cell so i can edit him with a low taper fade

Nuclear Warp

Dendritic cells migrate to lymph nodes ('lymph glands') with pieces or antigens of an invading pathogen to activate T cells there into mounting an immune response. This study reveals how, and the factors controlling, the dendritic cell nucleus deforms to enable migration between cells and the extracellular matrix

A professional-looking professional antigen-presenting cell!

What are dendritic cells?

Dendritic cells are immune cells which display antigens on their surface to present these antigens to T cells. They do this through engulfing something such as a bacterium and breaking it down into lots of small parts. Then peptides (short proteins) are presented in specialised molecules on the surface of the dendritic cell.

Why are dendritic cells ‘professional’ antigen-presenting cells?

Almost all of our cells are able to present antigens, through displaying peptides from the proteins the cell is producing on the surface of the cell in specialised molecules. This allows the immune system to ‘look inside’ the cell to see whether it is producing any abnormal proteins - these may be due to mutated DNA or a viral infection. Professional antigen-presenting cells use slightly different molecules to present antigens and also provide an additional activating signal to T cells.
