Dendritic cell surfaces (IMAGE)
Caption
:MIT researchers have identified a specialized subset of dendritic cells that help stimulate T cells to attack tumors. In this image, the blue represents a protein found on dendritic cell surfaces, and the purple stain reveals tumor proteins that the dendritic cell uses to “disguise” itself as a tumor cell. Cell nuclei are labeled in yellow.
