*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'''

'''Maturation signals'''
*Exogenous
**Bacteria or their products (LPS, LTA, lipoproteins)
**Viruses or their products (dsRNA, G-RSV)
**Protozoa or their products
**Helminths (SEA, ES 62)
*Endogenous
**Inflammatory mediators (IL-1/TNF-a, hsp, FcR)
**Immune cells (CD40L, CD47, FasL)
