While dendritic cells are permanent cells, new dendritic cells can be produced using stem cells. What does this mean (dendritic cells being permanent cells) about mitosis and how are stem cells used to make new dendritic cells?
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells derived from bone marrow precursors and form a widely distributed cellular system throughout the body. DCs exert immune-surveillance for exogenous and endogenous antigens and the later activation of naive T lymphocytes giving rise to various immunological responses.
