Antigen presenting cells (APCs) are a type of immune cell responsible for recognizing foreign antigens, presenting them to other immune cells, and promoting an adaptive immune response. APCs are typically found in the lymphoid organs such as the spleen and lymph nodes, as well as in the mucosal surfaces of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. The most common type of APC is the dendritic cell, however other cell types such as macrophages, B cells, and monocytes can also function as APCs. APCs are able to recognize and process antigens from invading pathogens, which are then presented on their cell surface in a form that other immune cells can recognize. This process is known as antigen presentation, and it is the first step in initiating an adaptive immune response. APCs are able to present antigens to other immune cells via specialized molecules called major histocompatibility complex molecules (MHC molecules). These MHC molecules bind to the antigen and display them to other cells, which then recognize the antigen as foreign and launch an immune response. The ability of APCs to recognize and present foreign antigens is crucial for the of effective adaptive immune responses. Without APCs, the body would be unable to recognize and respond to invading pathogens, leaving us vulnerable to infection and disease.
