Functional human epidermal Langerhans cells that lack Birbeck granules.

The Journal of investigative dermatology - 1 Dec 1994

Mommaas M, Mulder A, Vermeer B J, Koning F

Abstract excerpt

Birbeck granules (BG) are cytoplasmic organelles that are only found in Langerhans cells (LC). The function of BG is still unclear, although it has been claimed that they are actively involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis and participate in the antigen-processing/presenting function of LC. We...
