Langerhans Cells and More: Langerin-Expressing Dendritic Cell Subsets in the Skin [PDF]

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, 2010
Summary:  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 identifying feature is the unique rod‐ or tennis racket‐shaped Birbeck granule.

GAG Multivalent Systems to Interact With Langerin

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2022
: Langerin is a C-type Lectin expressed at the surface of Langerhans cells, which play a pivotal role protecting organisms against pathogen infections. To address this aim, Langerin presents at least two recognition sites, one Ca2+-dependent and another one independent, which are capable to recognize a variety of carbohydrate ligands.

Langerin Functions as an Antiviral Receptor on Langerhans Cells

Immunology and Cell Biology, 2010
Langerhans cells (LC) are the first dendritic cells (DC) to encounter pathogens entering the body via mucosa or skin. Equipped with pattern recognition receptors (PRR), LC are able to detect and respond to these pathogens. An important PRR, in human exclusively expressed by LC, is the C‐type lectin Langerin.

Reproduction of Langerin/CD207 Traffic and Birbeck Granule Formation in a Human Cell Line Model

open access: yesJournal of Investigative Dermatology, 2004
Birbeck granules (BG) are organelles specific to Langerhans cells (LCs), which form where the C-type lectin Langerin accumulates. Their function remains obscure due to morphologic and dynamic alterations induced by maturation of isolated LC.
