Human epidermal Langerhans cells replenish skin xenografts and are depleted by alloreactive T cells in vivo.
Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are potent APCs surveying the skin. They are crucial regulators of T cell activation in the context of inflammatory skin disease and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In contrast to other dendritic cell subtypes, murine LC are able to reconstitute after local depletion without the need of peripheral blood-derived precursors. In this study, we introduce an experim...
متن کاملEpidermal Langerhans cells are not required for UV-induced immunosuppression.
UV light can be highly beneficial in the treatment of skin disorders such as psoriasis. It is thought to cause immunosuppression by depleting or altering the function of epidermal Langerhans cells (LC). Our previous studies identified a novel langerin(+) dendritic cell in the dermis, distinct from LC in phenotype, circulation, and function. In this study, we determined the role of LC and dermal...
متن کاملEpidermal Langerhans' cells in Behçet's disease.
Langerhans' cells were studied in the epidermis of two patients with active Behçet's disease and compared with those in two normal controls. Ultrastructural morphology and the percentage of Langerhans' cells found were similar in patients' (1.88%) and the control epidermis (1.79%). The density of Langerhans' cells in adjacent sites of the same epidermis was not homogeneous, being in the range o...
متن کاملDensity of epidermal Langerhans cells in psoriasis
Immunocytochemical techniques using antibodies to the specific T6 and Ia (Major Histocompability Complex, class 11, human HLA-Dr) antigens were used to determine the densities of epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) in psoriasis patients treated with the aromatic retinoid RO 10-9359. Fourteen patients were treated with the aromatic retinoid and were skin biopsied before, during and after therapy. Tw...
