Abstract excerpt
Morphology, phenotype, and enzyme activity of highly enriched (80%) unlabeled human epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) have been studied, with emphasis on changes during a short-term culture of three days in vitro. All freshly isolated LC contained Birbeck granules and expressed high levels of CD1a, CD1c, and MHC class II molecules HLA-DR, -DP, and -DQ. They have a weak to moderate expression of RFD1, C3biR, Fc...
