A year in review: Discussions in Antigen Presenting Cell Biology

“A year in review: Discussions in Antigen Presenting Cell Biology” is part of a wider series of Research Topics across Frontiers in Immunology, hosted by our Speciality Chief Editors.

This Research Topic aims to spark discussion around popular spontaneous articles from 2021 in Antigen Presenting Cell Biology. The Antigen Presenting Cell Biology field is continuously evolving, therefore we are seeking to understand developments and perspectives on articles that have attracted attention throughout the year.
