Dendritic Cells: The Regulators

With macrophages covered, let's move on to another innate immune cell type, dendritic cells. These are able to capture and present antigens to the T cells of the adaptive immune system, prompting a variety of outcomes. Let's take a look at the types of dendritic cells and what they do!

The sensation of watching Professor Dave's coverage of cells that work in our immune system as my own immune system works to fight off an infection. It's amusing! 😄

[@swordstripe4772]

I was very intrested in the immume system but was only able to find really childish explanations or PHD level immunology's level lecture, your video allows even the common internet users such as I to learn about our Body and it's daily functions. Thnak you very much Mr.Dave, please continue your brilliant videos.

[@talita.fernaandes]

Thank U so much, from Brazil and Portugal. You are amazing

[@desmond3828]

You forgot to go over cDC1 and cDC2 subsets and the function of moDCs you also can add FDCs (follicular dendritic cells) as they are slightly related

[@jamiegallier2106]

I sure appreciate the wide array of scientific explanations/information available on this channel, thank you!❤

[@khaledrezk3746]

You are amazing,, thank you

[@desmond3828]

cDCs (classical or conventional dendritic cells) @Professordave are also found in blood in small amounts

[@desmond3828]

cDCs can also come from the lymphoid lineage too along with the myeloid lineage DCs

[@desmond3828]

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are also aberviated pDCs for monocyte dendritic cells (or monocyte derived dendritic cells) moDCs as well

[@GuidetteExpert]

Why is macrophages introduced as one cell from a monocyte? Arent there other cells in different tissues in the body that are also macrophages like langerhans cell, mast cell and so forth?

[@Unaimend]

To my knowledge, Langerhans Cells are no longer considered to be of the Dendritic cell line.

[@washno.8251]

I love immunology, especially the dendritic cell. Thank you.

[@blinkingmanchannel]

I don't know if it's generalizable, but how do these cells get moved from one spot to another and at the right time? (How does this work???) Interesting but intimidating at the same time.

[@Vegan_Strong_2018]

We are so feeble yet so resilient! Nature, you crazy.

[@desmond3828]

Mature cDCs an also be found in the peripheral blood in low levels

[@desmond3828]

cDCs (classical or conventional dendritic cells) @Professordave are also found in blood in small amounts!

[@jeffbarnard3050]

You are amazing! :)

[@nevulai]

thank you science jesus i love immunology

[@sciencenerd7639]

Hooray new video!

[@TundeEszlari]

You are a very good KZbinr, I love your videos, can I get a comment heart?❤
