langerhans cells

Preferred Label : langerhans cells;

MeSH definition : Recirculating, dendritic, antigen-presenting cells containing characteristic racket-shaped granules (Birbeck granules). They are found principally in the stratum spinosum of the EPIDERMIS and are rich in Class II MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX molecules. Langerhans cells were the first dendritic cell to be described and have been a model of study for other dendritic cells (DCs), especially other migrating DCs such as dermal DCs and INTERSTITIAL DENDRITIC CELLS.;

MeSH synonym : cells, langerhans; dendritic cell, epidermal; dendritic cells, epidermal; epidermal dendritic cell; epidermal dendritic cells; cell, epidermal dendritic; cells, epidermal dendritic; Langerhans Cell; Cell, Langerhans;

MeSH Hyperonym : skin dendritic cells; Cell, Skin Dendritic; Cells, Skin Dendritic; Dendritic Cell, Skin; Skin Dendritic Cell; Dendritic Cells, Skin;
