Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are very efficient antigen presenting cells, distributed in many tissues and organs (1). In the skin, they are characterized by CDla expression and the most extensively studied cell among them is the epidermal Langerhans cell. However, the dermis contains also a population of CDla+ cells with potent antigen presenting capacities (2, 3). It was described by Larsen et al. (4) that Ia+ cells migrated “spontaneously out of murine ear skin into the medium during culture.
