bystander cell - bystander effect (fibroblasts)Dear all
I was looking for a correct deffinition of the term: Bystander cell. I didn't finde much, but I think I got a clue: Bystander cells, are cell not involved in a process, but are affected by it. E.g. uninvolved T-cells or B-cells through cytokine secretion. Is this correct? Does somebody have a more accurate deffinition? Can fibroblasts be called bystander cells in terms of vaccination? I also found the term: Bystander effect. Does this mean the effect of the process on the uninvolved bystander cells, or the effect bystander cells do exert on other cells? Thanks for your help!
