Dendritic cells (DCs) are more effective antigen-presenting cells (APCs) than B cells and macrophages, and they also play important roles in innate and adaptive immune responses. DCs are derived from bone marrow and exist in all lymphoid and most non-lymphoid tissues. There are some differences in morphology, phenotypes, and functions between subtypes of DCs. However, the phenotypes and functions of bovine DCs are poorly understood. This book develops suitable methods to identify peripheral blood DCs using negative selection. (Imprint: Nova Biomedical)
