Immunoelectron microscopic identification of Langerhans cells using a new antigenic marker

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology
A C ChuR L Edelson

Abstract

The specificity of a monoclonal antibody (OKT6) for epidermal Langerhans cells was examined by immunoelectron microscopy. Peroxidase-labeled OKT6 bound to 1-5% of suspended human epidermal cells, as determined by light microscopy. Electron microscopic examination of peroxidase-labeled cells revealed that all Birbeck granule-containing Langerhans cells bound OKT6. In addition, a small population of indeterminate cells, lacking the Birbeck granule, was also labeled with OKT6. The ultrastructural studies confirm the specificity of OKT6 for Langerhans cells and suggest that the indeterminate cell represents a related cell population.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
