Langerhans cells (LCs) are a specialized subset of dendritic cells (DCs) that populate the
epidermal layer of the skin. Langerin is a lectin that serves as a valuable marker for LCs in …

Langerhans cells (LCs) are antigen‐presenting dendritic cells (DCs) that reside in epithelia.
The best studied example is the LC of the epidermis. By electron microscopy, their …

This study identifies type I IFNs as activating cytokines in a serum-free system in which
human dendritic cells (DC) were generated from CD34+ progenitor cells. After 14 days of …

Two subsets of dendritic cells, differing in T-cell stimulatory function, have been purified
directly from human blood. Both subsets are positive for major histocompatibility complex …

LANGERHANS cells (LC) are the principal accessory cells present in epidermis1. Because
LC have limited capacity for self-renewal2, epidermis is continually repopulated by as-yet …

Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous group of functionally specialized antigen-
presenting cells that initiate and orchestrate immune responses. Our understanding of DC …

Skin is the most commonly affected organ in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). To explore
the role of Langerhans cells in GVHD, the principal dendritic cells of the skin, we studied the …

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) combines in one nosological category a group of
diseases that have widely disparate clinical manifestations but are all characterized by …

Acute, low dose ultraviolet B radiation of murine body wall skin followed by local application
of DNFB produces a state of antigen-specific unresponsiveness. This state is maintained at …
