==History==
Dendritic cells were first described by [[Paul Langerhans]] (hence ''Langerhans cells'') in the late nineteenth century. The term ''dendritic cells'' was coined in 1973 by [[Ralph M. Steinman]] and [[Zanvil A. Cohn]].<ref name=Steinman>{{cite journal | doi=10.1084/jem.137.5.1142 |pmc=2139237|year=1973|last1=Steinman|first1=R.
