Now, let's move on to the second type of antigen presenting cell known as a dendritic cell. Now, basically, all these different types of antigen presenting cells do the same exact thing. They basically engulfed our antigen and then they present that antigen on this special type of protein membrane complex known as the major histocompatibility complex, class Two. So what exactly is a dendritic cell? Well, a dendritic cell is a specialized type of immune cell that is found in those areas of our body that are close to the outside environment. And that includes places tissues like our skin, our gut, our stomach and our digestive tract as well as our lungs.
