Abstract | Dendritic cells form the link between the innate and adaptative immune response, particularly on mucosal and epidermal surfaces. The Langerhans, an epidermal dendritic cell subpopulation, play a key role in the skin immune response across several species. Scarse immune cell subpopulations, including Langerhans-like cells, have been identified in endangered green turtles thereby complicating the understanding of the pathogenesis of diseases such as fibropapillomatosis, which induces skin tumours in this species worldwide. In biopsies from green turtle skin, we demonstrated that the polyclonal anti-human Langerin antibodies strongly stained a Langerin+ cell population in epidermal sheets, the suprabasal layer of the epidermis in cryosections and in cells from cytospin preparation of migration assays. The morphology of these cells was round to amoeboid in normal skin; however, in skin with ulcerative dermatitis, Langerin+ cells aggregated around ulcers and adopted a more pleomorphic morphology. To our knowledge, this is the first identification of Langerin+ cells with a molecular marker in a reptile species. |
