Studies of afferent lymph veiled cells (ALVC) show that the full biological function of dendritic cells in peripheral tissue is not explained by a simple model in which immature dendritic cells at the body surface take up antigen, migrate via the afferent lymph ducts, mature and then effectively present antigens to T-cells in the draining lymph node. Furthermore, it is evident from various investigations that the...
