The hepatic cells that serve as antigen-presenting cells are dendritic cells and Kupffer cells. Dendritic cells are particularly effective at capturing and presenting antigens to T cells, thereby stimulating an immune response. Kupffer cells, which are specialized macrophages in the liver, also play a crucial role in recognizing pathogens and presenting antigens to the immune system. Together, these cells contribute to the liver's immune surveillance and response functions.
