title: Distribution of Langerhans cells in Swiss Webster mouse skin.
abstract: The pattern of surface density and distribution of Langerhans Cells (LC) in the Swiss Webster (SW) albino mouse is reported. LC were demonstrated using ATP-Pb and their densities evaluated in the skin of anterior and posterior foot-pads, tail, abdomen, back and ear. Cells were counted using a light microscope with a drawing tube by projecting 0.01 mm2 areas at 150X magnification. The distribution and density of LC were quite different in the various regions of SW mouse skin.
