description

Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are regarded as the most peripheral outpost of the immune system. They play a pivotal role during the onset of an immune response in the skin. One of the principal functions of LC is reflected in their extraordinary potency to present antigen to high activation requiring naive T cells.
