Langherans Cells

Langerhans cells are dendritic cells (antigen-presenting immune cells) of the skin, and contain organelles calledBirbeck granules. They are present in all layers of the epidermis and are most prominent in the stratum spinosum. Langerhans cells also occur in the papillary dermis, particularly around blood vessels, as well as in the mucosa of the mouth,foreskin, and vaginal epithelium. They can be found in other tissues, such as lymph nodes, particularly in association with the condition Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).
