Dendritic Cells Activating a Lymphocyte Here is a beautiful scanning electron micrograph of a human lymphocyte (pink) as it scans the surface of a dendritic cell (blue). Lymphocytes are white blood cells, of which there are three types: B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Dendritic cells are located in the tissue and are responsible for stimulating the adaptive immune response via the activation of T cells.
