Langerhans Cells Are Required for Efficient Presentation of Topically Applied Hapten to T Cells

Abstract: Dendritic cells (DC) play a pivotal role in the control of T cell immunity due to their ability to stimulate naive T cells and direct effector function. Murine and human DC are composed of a number of phenotypically, and probably developmentally, distinct subsets, which may play unique roles in the initiation and regulation of T cell responses. The skin is populated by at least two subsets of DC: Langerhans cells (LC), which form a contiguous network throughout the epidermis, and dermal DC. LC have classically… Show more

“…The choice of hapten does not seem to be critical since the Dutch mice also have reduced CHS to oxazalone [35]. Rather, it appears that the timing of DT administration can affect the outcome since French mice treated with DT only on day À1 develop diminished CHS responses similar to the Dutch mice [36,37]. Thus, even though the mice have not been compared side-by-side in the same experiment and minor differences may still exist, it appears that the two Langerin-DTR lines behave similarly when examined using a comparable protocol.…”

“…Until then the role of LC in sensitization had been defined as inducer, indifferent or suppressor. In 2007, Bennett et al 76 returned to their model and demonstrated that antigens are not properly transported to lymph nodes in the absence of LC and concluded that it decreases sensitization to antigens, confirming their findings in the first trial. They attributed the following to the differences found in the other studies: 1) perennial absence of LC in the model of Kaplan et al and 2) the use of high concentrations of allergens in the other studies.…”

“…That trial indicates that langerin dermal DC and not LC and langerin dermal DC are the main responsible for the development of ACD. However, Bursch et al 80 and Bennett et al 76 used a similar system and failed to induce ACD with low concentrations of oxazolone in the fourth week after ablation, time period during which only langerin dermal DC have returned to normal, indicating that LC are necessary for sensitization. A possible conciliatory explanation lies in the concentration of haptens applied to sensitization.…”
