Okt6 Positme Epidermal L4ngerhans Cells in Tinea Corporis
Abstract:
Langerhans cells (LC) were defined by indirect immunofluoresence using OKT6 monoclonal antibody in the skin lesions of 11 untreated patients with tinea corporis. The number and distribution of OKr6 + epidermal LC in the lesions was very low in comparison to that found in the normal skin. In most of the lesions, T6 + LC could not be seen in the epidermis. A like antigens were not detectable on the keratinocytes. These observations suggest deceased CMI response to the fungal infection and that the reduction in LC may be a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of tinea corporis.

Cells of the Epidermis
The cells in all these layers except the stratum basale are called keratinocytes, a type of cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin. The keratinocytes in the stratum corneum are dead and regularly slough away, being replaced by cells from...

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
