Document Summary

Apc express mhc ii and costimulatory molecules to present exogenous antigens to lymphocytes. Dendritic cells = most efficient apc at initiating primary immune response and inducing self tolerance. Barriers: low [antigen], small pop of t cells, spatial consideration, tcr with low affinity. Problems with dcs: infrequent, different varieties, difficult to purify and obtain in large numbers. Distinct phenotypes at different stages in life cycle. Antigen capture and processing is in peripheral tissues. Initiation of 1 immune response localized in lymph node and spleen. Activated t cells egress lymph nodes, recirculate through tissue and direct effector response. Dendritic cells- apc that initiate innate and adaptive (t mediated) immune response. Occupy discrete regions in lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissue. Phenotypic changes facilitate antigen capture in the periphery and movt to t cell regions of lymph nodes to present on mhc ii. Numerous surface veils, paucity of lysosomes, distinct multivesicular vacuoles. 100 x more efficient at initiation 1 immune response then macrophages.
