Langerhans Cells
Langerhans cells are a type of antigen-presenting cell of the immune system found in the skin, mucosa, and connective tissues. They serve to initiate an adaptive immune response to foreign antigens, and can also modulate the immune response to antigens encountered in the environment. Langerhans cells play an important role in defending the body against infection and disease, and can be used to treat a variety of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and allergic reactions. They are also the target of therapeutic treatments aimed at modulating immune responses to better control the body's response to disease or infection.
