Follicular dendritic cells
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) are cells of the immune system found in lymph follicles.[1] They are probably not of hematopoietic origin, but simply look similar to true dendritic cells.
The origin of follicular dendritic cell is not yet known, but they share the appearance and function of the other types of dendritic cells. They are, however, classified differently in MeSH. [2]
