Abstract

Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) are key organizers of B cell follicles and germinal centers. In this issue of Immunity, Suzuki et al. (2010) and Garin et al. (2010) identify the roles of Toll-like receptors in the responses of FDCs, providing a unique link between innate and adaptive immunity.
