Final answer:

Upon activation, dendritic cells present antigens that activate T cells in the T-cell zone of lymph nodes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Upon activation, dendritic cells undergo changes that allow them to travel to the T-cell zone of lymph nodes. One important change is the presentation of antigens on the surface of the dendritic cells. These antigens activate T cells that bind to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins on the dendritic cells.
