Follicular Dendritic Cells (FDCs) located in lymphoid nodules (also named "follicles") have numerous filiform (or string-like) cell processes called dendrites. These dendrites intertwine with neighboring dendrites and form a network. The dendrites in the network bind immune complexes in a periodicity that is pivotal in the binding of immune complexes to B cells in the germinal centers. This binding initiates a specific antibody response to antigens. To learn more about the importance of structures and functions of FDCs, go to the illustrated website based on scientific publications at: http://www.home.comcast.net/~aszakal/ .--Aszakal 21:11, 17 August 2008 (UTC)]]
