GlossaryCD1a+ Langerhans cells

immune cells in skin presenting antigens to T-cells

CD1a+ Langerhans cells are a type of immune cell found in the skin and mucous membranes. They play a crucial role in the body's defense system by capturing and presenting antigens to T-cells, which helps initiate an immune response. The "CD1a+" designation refers to a specific protein marker on their surface that is used to identify them.
