Abstract excerpt
Epidermal Langerhans' cells (LC) play important roles in initiating and regulating cutaneous immune responses. However, LC comprise less than 3% of all epidermal cells and consequently are difficult to study ex vivo. In the current investigations, we have examined the utility of the XS106 cell line, a dendritic cell (DC) line derived from mouse epidermis, as a surrogate for LC. Membrane marker expression, type 1-...
