Data detailed in 'Receptor-mediated endocytosis of particles by peripheral dendritic cells' have been presented. According to recent research from Malmo, Sweden, "Human peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with the ability to internalize antigen and present antigen-derived peptides to T cells. Human DCs express several receptors on the surface for endocytosis and other recognition receptors that bind to microbes or microbial products, which are internalized and processed."
"Here, we report the use of nanometer-size zeolite particles as a tool to study receptor-mediated endocytosis by the two subsets of immature DCs, myeloid (mDC) and ...
