Talk:follicular dendritic cell

This is an incorrect definition. First of all there are no true dendritic cells as such. There are only dendritic cells and follicular dendritic cells. Follicular dendritic cells were described long before dendritic cells by Nossal in the lymph node and Szakal in the spleen in 1968. By comparing FDCs to dendritic cells is not a proper definition. Each cell type needs to be defined on it's own merits. Also, these cells should be defined by people who actually worked with these cells and characterized them functionally and by morphology. Wikipedia and Wictionary will be worth nothing if it does not follow the rules of definitions. Before you delete a new definition make sure it is not more correct.--Aszakal 16:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

The way the definition is at the moment it is relatively correct. However, a brief one sentence statement about the FDC function would be desirable, e. g., FDCs present immune complexes to B cells while DCs present processed antigen to T cells. --Aszakal 16:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

The tag or flag should be referring to the article and illustration found in Wikiversity for Follicular dendritic cells. So, the link should go to Wikiversity, Follicular dendritic cell. This article corresponds and agrees with this definition. --Aszakal 21:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The tag keeps getting put under translations. It does not belong there but someone or something keeps putting it there. It should be under the definition.-- Aszakal 18:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Here in English Wiktionary, we try for a set order and page layout with regard to sections, links and tags. The Wikipedia link, if there is one, goes at the top, while Wikiversity link goes at the bottom. Neither goes immediately after the definition. Its position after the translations does not imply that it concerns the translations, but it is simply the order that we use. —Stephen 15:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
