Langerhans cells and other skin-resident dendritic cells (DC) are required for the development of cutaneous adaptive immune responses. In vivo experiments using mice with selective DC-subset deficiencies and ex vivo experiments using isolated DC suggests that each subset makes a unique contribution to the adaptive response. This review focuses on the functional outcome of antigen presentation by Langerhans cells. Special attention is given to their ability to promote CD4 T cell differentiation in a variety of inflammatory contexts and whether this subset has the capacity to cross-prime CD8 T cells.
朗格汉斯细胞和其他皮肤常驻树突状细胞(DC)是皮肤适应性免疫反应发展所必需的。利用选择性 DC 亚群缺陷的小鼠进行体内实验和利用分离的 DC 进行的体外实验表明,每个亚群对适应性反应都有独特的贡献。本综述重点介绍朗格汉斯细胞对抗原呈递的功能结果。特别关注它们在各种炎症环境中促进 CD4 T 细胞分化的能力,以及这个亚群是否有能力交叉引发 CD8 T 细胞。
