Dendritic cells (DCs) are best known for their roles in host resistance and immunogenicity.
DCs provide a direct link between innate and adaptive immunity. After antigen capture and
processing, DCs control differentiation and polarization of T cells. However, there is a
danger in the antigen presentation as at the same time DCs are capturing microbial antigens
and also dying self cells and environmental proteins, to which the immune system must not
respond. There is good evidence that immature DCs, in the absence of infection and …
