  • Title: Epidermal Langerhans cells are critical for immunoregulation of cutaneous leishmaniasis.
    Author: Moll H.
    Journal: Immunol Today; 1993 Aug; 14(8):383-7. PubMed ID: 8397776.
    Abstract:
    In leishmaniasis, macrophages are known to play a central role as modulators of the specific immune activity. In this article, Heidrun Moll presents evidence for the critical involvement of another component of the skin immune system, the epidermal Langerhans cell. She proposes that Langerhans cells take up parasites in the skin and transport them to the draining lymph node for presentation to T cells and initiation of the specific immune response.
