Description
Illustration of a dendritic cell (centre, purple) activating T-cells (teal). Dendritic cells recognise viruses and present information about their antigens to T-cells. A dendritic cell is a type of white blood cell that is a component of the body's immune system. They are antigen presenting cells (APCs), that is, they present pathogens or foreign molecules (antigens) to other cells of the immune system to be eliminated.
