Dendritic Cells: The Regulators

With macrophages covered, let's move on to another innate immune cell type, dendritic cells. These are able to capture and present antigens to the T cells of the adaptive immune system, prompting a variety of outcomes. Let's take a look at the types of dendritic cells and what they do!

I was very intrested in the immume system but was only able to find really childish explanations or PHD level immunology's level lecture, your video allows even the common internet users such as I to learn about our Body and it's daily functions. Thnak you very much Mr.Dave, please continue your brilliant videos.

The sensation of watching Professor Dave's coverage of cells that work in our immune system as my own immune system works to fight off an infection. It's amusing! 😄

[jamiegallier]

I sure appreciate the wide array of scientific explanations/information available on this channel, thank you!❤

[washno.]

I love immunology, especially the dendritic cell. Thank you.

[talita.fernaandes]

Thank U so much, from Brazil and Portugal. You are amazing

You forgot to go over cDC1 and cDC2 subsets and the function of moDCs you also can add FDCs (follicular dendritic cells) as they are slightly related

[desmond]

cDCs (classical or conventional dendritic cells) @Professordave are also found in blood in small amounts

To my knowledge, Langerhans Cells are no longer considered to be of the Dendritic cell line.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells are also aberviated pDCs for monocyte dendritic cells (or monocyte derived dendritic cells) moDCs as well

[desmond]

cDCs (classical or conventional dendritic cells) @Professordave are also found in blood in small amounts!

I don't know if it's generalizable, but how do these cells get moved from one spot to another and at the right time? (How does this work???) Interesting but intimidating at the same time.

[desmond]

cDCs can also come from the lymphoid lineage too along with the myeloid lineage DCs

[GuidetteExpert]

Why is macrophages introduced as one cell from a monocyte? Arent there other cells in different tissues in the body that are also macrophages like langerhans cell, mast cell and so forth?

[SillyCiliate]

thank you science jesus i love immunology

[desmond]

Mature cDCs an also be found in the peripheral blood in low levels

You are a very good Youtuber, I love your videos, can I get a comment heart?❤

[ArveEriksson]

I'm a bit surprised... Do they really use the naming CD-something "plus", not "positive"?

[thephantomeagle]

Dendritic cells. Say that fast 10 times fast.

Thanks for all you do.

I really enjoyed these lectures, but I’m going to say that the title of this one made me think that it was going to be like a B roll marvel movie. But it is very interesting as far as I’ve listen so far. Thank you sir. 1:09

My adderall is kicking in I timed this perfectly!
