The induction of immune responses to the protein antigens of microbes depends on a specialized system for capturing and displaying these antigens for recognition by the rare naive T cells specific for any antigen. Microbes and microbial antigens that enter the body through epithelia are captured by dendritic cells located in or under the epithelia and transported to regional lymph nodes or captured by dendritic cells in lymph nodes and spleen. The protein antigens of the microbes are displayed b
