Sharing function with dendritic cells?

I think it is not a good idea to say they "share appearance and function" with dendritic cells. they have dendrites and present antigen to lymphocytes, but that is where the similarity ends. they present a totally different antigen to a different type of lymphocyte in an unrelated manner, they are not really related to dendritic cells despite the similar morphology and confusing name and they are not considered a subtype of dendritic cell.--KX36 (talk) 14:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
