Fields:

Front
Starting with antigen capture by immature dendritic cells, describe the events leading to antigen presentation to T lymphocytes.
Back
  • Once an immature dendritic cell encounters an antigen, it rapidly matures. Antigen presenting ability increases, increasing MHC expression, expression of co-stimulatory molecules, and production of cytokines/chemokines. 
  • The mature dendritic cell then carries antigens via lymph or blood to lymphoid organs (lymph node or spleen) where it can present the antigen to T lymphocytes.
