dendritic cell dendrite assembly
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0097026
Formation of dendrites, branched cellular projections (or cytoplasmic extension) that are extended from the surface of a dendritic immune cell, and which enable the cell to sample luminal pathogens and increase the surface area for antigen presentation to T cells.

Term info
Note that dendrites of dendritic cells should not be confused with neuronal cell dendrites, which process electrical signals.
