[Dendritic cells and their role in atopic dermatitis].
Dendritic cells in the epidermis have an important role in the skin inmunity since they have an immunogenic capacity. The dendritic cell prototype is Langerhans cell (LC), however, nowadays it is known that there are other dendritic cells in the skin as dermic dendritic cells (DDCs). In this review we examined the functions and characteristics of these cells and their role in the atopic dermatitis.
