Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are a type of immune cell located within the spleen, lymph nodes, and other immune system cells. FDCs play an important role in the body's immune system, as they act as an antigen-presenting cell to help detect and respond to foreign invaders. FDCs can also help maintain the memory of T cells, so that the body can mount a quicker and more effective response to the same invader the next time. FDCs have a wide range of potential uses in the fields of oncology, immunology, and vaccine development. In particular, FDCs can be used to deliver targeted therapies, as well as to develop vaccines that can generate long-term immunity against different viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.
