摘要:: The phenotype and function of CD1a+ lymph cells is of considerable interest. By means of microsurgical lymph cannulation human lymph derived from normal skin was sampled. Cells were isolated and processed for immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy, flow cytometry and functional assays. The majority of the cells, (62%), were T cells. The other cells comprised CD1a+ cells (7%), monocytes/macrophages (8%), and B cells (1%); the remainder were erythrocytes or uncharacterized cells. The CD1a+ cells reacted with antibodies against protein S-100, HLA-DR, the Lag antigen, CD4, CD11a, CD11b, CD18, CD25, CD40, CD54, CD80 and CD86. Interestingly, a small prolow portion the of CD1a+ cells (about 5%) reacted with an antibody to CD14. The CD1a+ cells did not react with an antibody against human follicular dendritic cells nor were they CD19-, CD23-, E-cadherin- or factor XIIIa-positive. Both allogenic and antigen-specific T cell proliferation stimulated by antigen-presenting lymph cells were strongly inhibited by adding anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 antibodies. By electron microscopy Birbeck granules were detected in only 22% of the CD1a+ lymph cells and these cells exhibited an extensive ruffling of the surface. These findings demonstrate that CD1a+ lymph cells, which do not express the dermal dendritic cell marker factor XIIIa, resemble dendritic cells formerly designated as 'veiled' as well as lymphoid dendritic cells, suggesting that after migration to the regional lymphoid organs, Langerhans cells form a more differentiated population of dendritic cells specialized in sensitizing T lymphocytes. Our results add further support to the view that resident Langerhans cells may be precursors of lymphoid dendritic cells acquiring the final phenotype in the microenvironment of the lymph node.
