Abstract excerpt
Langerhans cells (LC) of the skin represent bone marrow-derived dendritic antigen-presenting cells and are therefore important in pathophysiological processes such as rejection, graft-versus-host disease, and graft-versus-leukemia-reaction after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). For understanding of these diseases, the evaluation of the chimeric status of LC following BMT is of great interest. To analyze the sex...
