Rational Design of a DNA‐Scaffolded High‐Affinity Binder for Langerin [PDF]
AbstractBinders of langerin could target vaccines to Langerhans cells for improved therapeutic effect. Since langerin has low affinity for monovalent glycan ligands, highly multivalent presentation has previously been key for targeting. Aiming to reduce the amount of ligand required, we rationally designed molecularly defined high‐affinity binders ...

A specific, glycomimetic Langerin ligand for human Langerhans cell targeting [PDF]
AbstractLangerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells residing in the epidermis of the human skin. As such, they are key mediators of immune regulation and have emerged as prime targets for novel transcutaneous cancer vaccines. Importantly, the induction of protective T cell immunity by these vaccines requires the efficient and specific delivery of ...

Identification of a novel population of Langerin+ dendritic cells [PDF]
Langerhans cells (LCs) are antigen-presenting cells that reside in the epidermis of the skin and traffic to lymph nodes (LNs). The general role of these cells in skin immune responses is not clear because distinct models of LC depletion resulted in opposite conclusions about their role in contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate modulates antigen capture by murine langerhans cells via the S1P2 receptor subtype [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the development of cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and atopic dermatitis as they capture and process antigen and present it to T lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs.

Depletion of langerin+ cells enhances cutaneous wound healing [PDF]
SummaryLangerin is a C‐type lectin receptor that is expressed on Langerhans cells and langerin‐positive dermal dendritic cells in the skin. Little is known about the function of langerin+ cells in wound healing. In this study, the effects of ablation of langerin+ cells on healing of a full‐thickness excision wound were investigated using the langerin ...

Peritumoural and Intratumoural Distribution of Langerhan Cell in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and its Association with Known Prognostic Factors [PDF]
Introduction: Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for about 2/3rd of the Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC). It is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and the third most common cancer in developing countries including India.

Glycosaminoglycans are interactants of Langerin: comparison with gp120 highlights an unexpected calcium-independent binding mode. [PDF]
Langerin is a C-type lectin specifically expressed in Langerhans cells. As recently shown for HIV, Langerin is thought to capture pathogens and mediate their internalisation into Birbeck Granules for elimination.

Langerin (CD207) represents a novel interferon-stimulated gene in Langerhans cells [PDF]
Interferons (IFNs) are “warning signal” cytokines released upon pathogen sensing. IFNs control the expression of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), which are often crucial to restrict viral infections and establish a cellular antiviral state.1,2 Langerin (CD207), a well-known surface receptor on Langerhans cells (LC), belongs to the C-type lectin ...
