Abstract
Secondary follicles of lymphoid organs contain a highly specialized non-lymphoid cell type, the so-called follicular dendritic cells (FDC). FDC are cells with extraordinary long slender cell processes, which form an intricate labyrinth of invaginations11,12 in which antigen-antibody complexes can be trapped and retained for several weeks2. This trapping is believed to play a role in the induction of immunological memory17 or as feedback mechanisms regulating the immune response24.
