Dendritic, migratory, lymphoid cells identical to the Langerhans cells of the epidermis, have been found in the epithelium of the bovine forestomach. They also possess the characteristic Langerhans cell granules. It can be assumed that these epithelial lymphocytes, (or Langerhans cells) as has been reported for the epidermal Langerhans cells, are antigen detectors and therefore form the first line of defence in the general immunological response of the body. The author suggests that the Langerhans cells of the forestomach be named epithelial lymphocytes. The existence of Langerhans cell granules has not yet been reported in the epithelial lymphocytes of the true stomach, intestines and respiratory epithelium.
在牛前胃的上皮组织中发现了与表皮朗格汉斯细胞相同的树突状、游走性淋巴细胞。它们也具有特征性的朗格汉斯细胞颗粒。可以假定，正如已报道的表皮朗格汉斯细胞那样，这些上皮淋巴细胞（或朗格汉斯细胞）是抗原探测器，因此在机体的一般免疫反应中构成第一道防线。作者建议将前胃的朗格汉斯细胞命名为上皮淋巴细胞。在真胃、肠道和呼吸道上皮的上皮淋巴细胞中尚未报道有朗格汉斯细胞颗粒的存在。
