Title: Cells of Langerhans with Birbeck granules in the epidermis
Description:
Back skin, electron microscopy human. (A, C1) Survey of the electron-light cell of Langerhans (1) that is located between the
dense-stained keratinocytes of the spinous layer. The cell of Langerhans is a circulating antigen-presenting cell and contains
Birbeck granules (2) in the format of rod-shaped-like structures. These structures are detailed in (B, C2), note the periodicity
in stacks of the Birbeck granules. These "tennis-racket organelles” are assumed to be subdomains of the endosomal recycling compartment .
Keywords/Mesh: skin, epidermis, stratum spinosum, spinous layer, keratinocyte, Langerhans cell, Birbeck granule, histology,
electron microscopy, POJA collection
