follicular dendritic cell

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13156
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-negative Fc receptor-positive dendritic cell which bears immune complexes on its surface and is probably involved in the generation of antibody-secreting cells and maintenance of B-cell memory (see memory cell) in germinal centers.
Note: This is a different cell type from the dendritic cell.
