ROLE OF FDCs AND FDC ACTIVATION IN PROMOTING HUMORAL IMMUNITY INCLUDING RESPONSES TO T-DEPENDENT ANTIGENS IN THE ABSENCE OF T CELLS

Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) reside in primary B-cell follicles and in the light zones of germinal centers (GCs) in secondary follicles, where their dendrites interdigitate forming extensive networks intimately interacting with B-cells. In GCs, FDCs can be found at the edges attached to the sup...
