What is Thymic Dendritic Cells about?
Thymic dendritic cells ## Carlos Ardavin endritic cells (DCs) are key elements in the establishment of T-cell immune responses and, as such, have extraordinary antigen-presenting capacity. Their potential as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) relies on their ability to endocytose, process and retain a wide variety of antigens on their surface and to present these to specific T cells. DCs also have a highly efficient costimulatory potential based on their constitutive expression of B7-1 (CD80), B7-2 (CD86) and CD40 molecules. Moreover, DCs are strategically located in most potential sites of antigen entry, either in lymphocyte-deprived epithelial microenvi-
