Dendritic cells phagocytose apoptotic cells via alphavbeta5, alphavbeta3, and CD36.
and cross-present Antigens to Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
The interaction between apoptotic bodies and dendritic cells elicits a rise in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) which is essential for the process of engulfment.
