Distribution of Langerhans cells in Swiss Webster mouse skin. 1986

G Gebara, and R Magalhães-Pinto, and M Tendler, and M Queiroz-da-Cruz, and A Oliveira-Lima

The pattern of surface density and distribution of Langerhans Cells (LC) in the Swiss Webster (SW) albino mouse is reported. LC were demonstrated using ATP-Pb and their densities evaluated in the skin of anterior and posterior foot-pads, tail, abdomen, back and ear. Cells were counted using a light microscope with a drawing tube by projecting 0.01 mm2 areas at 150X magnification. The distribution and density of LC were quite different in the various regions of SW mouse skin.

D007801 Langerhans Cells Recirculating, dendritic, antigen-presenting cells containing characteristic racket-shaped granules (Birbeck granules). They are found principally in the stratum spinosum of the EPIDERMIS and are rich in Class II MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX molecules. Langerhans cells were the first dendritic cell to be described and have been a model of study for other dendritic cells (DCs), especially other migrating DCs such as dermal DCs and INTERSTITIAL DENDRITIC CELLS.
