Cervical healing and Langerhans' cells.
A study of cervical epithelium healing after laser treatment found the early presence of Langerhans' cells. These cells were demonstrated using a histochemical technique for adenosine triphosphatase. The significance of Langerhans' cells in healing epithelium and their probable immunological role is discussed.
