*Dendritic cells present antigen to [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#T cells|T cells]]
*Dendritic cells present antigen to [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#T cells|T cells]]
*Veiled cells enter the paracortical region of the [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph node]] where they present antigen to [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#T cells|T cells]]. They are now called '''Interdigitating Dendritic Cells'''
*Veiled cells enter the paracortical region of the [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph node]] where they present antigen to [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood#T cells|T cells]]. They are now called '''Interdigitating Dendritic Cells'''
*There are two different lineages of dendritic cells:
**From myeloid precursor cells
**From plasmacytoid precursor cells
