Abstract
Langerhans cells are part of a vast system of potent antigen-presenting cells known under the name of dendritic cells. During the last decade, much has been learned on dendritic cell involvement in the immune response to infectious diseases. This review briefly summarizes our current understanding of the role played by Langerhans cells and other dendritic cells in the pathogenesis of DNA and RNA virus infections. These data may form the basis for the development of innovative approaches in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of viral diseases.Keywords
