Abstract excerpt

Application of the fluorescent contact sensitizer Rhodamin B on mouse epidermis was used to study the migration kinetics of Langerhans cells into the draining lymph nodes. The expression of the dendritic cell markers NLDC-145 and MIDC-8 was followed over time to determine the correlation between...
