Langerin is a natural barrier to HIV-1 transmission by Langerhans cells
Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) is primarily transmitted sexually. Dendritic cells (DCs) in the subepithelium transmit HIV-1 to T cells through the C-type lectin DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN ...

Identification and expression of mouse Langerin (CD207) in dendritic cells [PDF]
We have cloned the mouse homologue of human Langerin (h-Langerin), a type II transmembrane protein with a single external C-type lectin domain. Mouse Langerin (m-Langerin) displays 65 and 74% homologies in total amino acid and lectin domains with those ...

Ontogeny of Langerin/CD207 Expression in the Epidermis of Mice [PDF]
C-type lectin receptors help Langerhans cells (LC) to take up and process pathogens. Langerin/CD207 is a mannose-binding C-type lectin that is specifically expressed by LC.

Identification of a novel population of Langerin+ dendritic cells. [PDF]
International audienceLangerhans cells (LCs) are antigen-presenting cells that reside in the epidermis of the skin and traffic to lymph nodes (LNs).

Langerin-Heparin Interaction: Analysis of the Binding to the Non-Lectin Site [PDF]
Langerin is a C-type lectin involved in the immune response that forms a trimer in its active form. It can interact with carbohydrates using 2 sites with different selectivity, the C-lectin site, a Ca 2+ -mediated binding, and the cleft between chains ...

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

Identification and Characterization of an Alternatively Spliced Isoform of Mouse Langerin/CD207 [PDF]
The mouse homologue of human Langerin (CD207), a novel Langerhans cells (LC)-restricted C-type lectin that likely participates in antigen recognition and uptake, has been recently identified. In this study, we isolated the mouse Langerin cDNA from murine

A common genetic variation in Langerin (CD207) compromises cellular uptake of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Langerhans cells are key sentinel cells of the skin and mucosal lining. They sense microorganisms through their repertoire of pattern-recognition receptors to mount and direct appropriate immune responses.

Murine Intestinal Neonatal and Adult Dendritic Cell Subset Migration and Activation Characteristics in Response to Toll-Like Receptor Stimulation Through MyD88. [PDF]
Despite their importance, dendritic cell subsets are not well characterised in neonates. We here provide fundamental information on the abundance and phenotype of small‐intestinal neonatal DCs and assess the role of MyD88 in neonatal and adult DC migration in response to several toll‐like receptor ligands.
