HIV target cells and innate immune factors in the human female genital tract [PDF]
, 2011 World-wide, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission most often takes place in the genital tract during heterosexual intercourse, but the site where HIV most commonly establishes primary infection in the female genital tract remains unknown ...

, 2012 After activation, Langerhans cells (LC), a distinct subpopulation of epidermis-resident dendritic cells, migrate from skin to lymph nodes where they regulate the magnitude and quality of immune responses initiated by epicutaneously applied antigens ...

Hepatic Langerhans cell histiocytosis: Report of a rare case
Human Pathology Reports, 2023 Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplastic disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cells infiltrating various organs, resulting in organ dysfunction.

Langerin, the “Catcher in the Rye”: An important receptor for pathogens on Langerhans cells [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, 2011 AbstractLangerhans cells (LCs) are a distinct subset of DCs that resides in the epidermis and other epithelia. They are potent antigen‐presenting cells and strong inducers of T‐cell responses. Like other DC types, LCs express C‐type lectins that serve as antigen/pathogen uptake receptors, with Langerin/CD207 being the characteristic LC C‐type lectin ...

Activin A induces Langerhans cell differentiation in vitro and in human skin explants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Langerhans cells (LC) represent a well characterized subset of dendritic cells located in the epidermis of skin and mucosae. In vivo, they originate from resident and blood-borne precursors in the presence of keratinocyte-derived TGFbeta.

Identification and Characterization of an Alternatively Spliced Isoform of Mouse Langerin/CD207 [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2004 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 fetal skin-derived dendritic cells (FSDDC) by subtractive cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ...

Targeting antigens to dendritic cell receptors for vaccine development [PDF]
, 2013 Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized antigen presenting cells of the immune system which play a key role in regulating immune responses. Depending on the method of antigen delivery, DCs stimulate immune responses or induce tolerance.

Characterization of Langerin-Expressing Dendritic Cell Subsets in the Normal Cornea [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2011 In addition to Langerhans cells (LCs), other dendritic cells (CD11c(+)) have recently been shown to express Langerin (c-type lectin). In skin, (non-LC) Langerin+ dendritic cells initiate adaptive immunity. However, whether such dendritic cells (DC) reside in the cornea, an immune-privileged tissue, is unknown.Normal C57BL/6 corneas were harvested for ...
