Definition
English
:
Non-hematopoietic
cells
, with extensive dendritic processes, found in the primary and secondary follicles of
lymphoid tissue
(the B cell zones). They are different from conventional
DENDRITIC CELLS
associated with T-CELLS. They are derived from
MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS
and are negative for class II MHC antigen and do not process or present antigen like the conventional
dendritic cells
do. Instead, follicular
dendritic cells
have FC RECEPTORS and C3B RECEPTORS that hold antigen in the form of ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY COMPLEXES on their surfaces for long periods for recognition by B-CELLS.
