Answer
Dendritic cells play a key role in adaptive immunity. They are the main antigen presenting cells (APCs) in the body, and are responsible for presenting antigens to T cells. Dendritic cells capture antigens from the environment, and then process and present them to T cells in the lymph nodes. This process is essential for the activation of T cells, and the subsequent development of adaptive immunity.
