Langerhans cells are part of a vast system of potent antigen-presenting cells known under the name of dendritic cells. During the last decade, much has been learned on dendritic cell involvement in the immune response to infectious diseases. This review briefly summarizes our current understanding of the role played by Langerhans cells and other dendritic cells in the pathogenesis of DNA and RNA virus infections. These data may form the basis for the development of innovative approaches in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of viral diseases.
朗格汉斯细胞是庞大的强效抗原呈递细胞系统的一部分，该系统以树突状细胞之名为人所知。在过去十年中，我们对树突状细胞参与传染病免疫反应的情况有了很多了解。这篇综述简要总结了我们目前对朗格汉斯细胞和其他树突状细胞在DNA和RNA病毒感染发病机制中所起作用的理解。这些数据可能为开发诊断、预防和治疗病毒性疾病的创新方法奠定基础。
