Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells, and are found in all tissues and organs of the body. Papers from the June 1994 symposium are arranged in sections covering dendritic cells origin and differentiation; phenotype; antigen processing and presentation; cell migration; follicular dendritic cells origin, phenotype and maturation; follicular dendritic cells function; lymphocyte interactions; dendritic cells and HIV; and dendritic cells in transplantation, allergy and oncology.
