APC
Antigen-presenting cell. A cell that shows antigen on its surface to other cells of the immune system. This is an important part of an immune response.  

antigen-presenting cell
a cell (e.g., macrophage) that processes antigen proteins and displays the short peptide fragments on its surface in conjunction with major histocompatibility (MHC) proteins, enabling recognition by T-cells.

APC
Adenomatous Polyposis Coli, Antibody Presenting Cell

Antibody Presenting Cell
APC--A white blood cell that devours foreign bodies, breaks them down, and carries characteristic antigen peptides to it's surface. The foreign antigen, complexed with MHC I or II is presented to CD4 or CD8 to initiate an immune response specific to that peptide

ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELL (APC)
The cell type that collects foreign material (antigen, see) and digests it into pieces that can be recognized by the immune system. The APC presents the antigen to the helper T cells<!-- (see) -->, the CD4+ T cells; this results in the initiation of expansion of an immune response targeted against the foreign material. APCs are B cells, macrophages, or dendritic cells (see entries for these terms).

antigen-presenting cell
B cell, macrophage, dendritic cell or other cell that ingests and processes foreign bodies such as viruses and displays the resulting antigen fragments on its surface to attract and activate the CD4+ T cells that respond specifically to that antigen. (See also dendritic cell; macrophage.)

APC
Abbreviation for adaptive predictive coding.

adaptive predictive coding (APC)
Narrowband analog-to-digital conversion that uses a one-level or multilevel sampling system in which the value of the signal at each sampling instant is predicted according to a linear function of the past values of the quantized signals. Note: APC is related to linear predictive coding (LPC) in that both use adaptive predictors. However, APC uses fewer prediction coefficients, thus requiring a higher sampling rate than LPC.
