Background: Follicular dendritic cells and sinus lining cells in lymph node and tonsil, and blood dendritic cells express the X-11 antigen. X-11+ blood dendritic cells show typical dendritic veils and are the most potent stimulator cells in an allogenic mixed leukocyte reaction when compared with other leukocytes. X11+ cells strongly react with anti S100 and weakly with anti CD68. The literature suggests that X-11+ cells are dendritic cells of monocytic origin.Synonyms: Marker for Complement C9 Neoepitope On Follicular Dendritic Cells, Membrane attack complex, Terminal complement complex
