Dendritic cells

Dendritic cells are the cells in the immune system that present dendrites, as their name indicates, in certain cases (cytoplasmic prolongations). They are phagocytic cells that express a wide range of proteins allowing the presence of pathogens to be detected. It is these cells that are especially responsible for triggering an immune response.
