Dendritic cells (DCs) in the skin are critical for the development of adaptive immune responses to pathogens and for the maintenance of peripheral tolerance (Kashem et al., 2017). Under steady-state conditions, at least four subsets of cutaneous DCs have been characterized: epidermal Langerhans cells (LC), dermal classical DC1 (cDC1, also known as CD103+ dDC), dermal cDC2 (also known as CD11b+ dDC), and CD103–CD11b–double-negative DCs. Although functional specializations of each DC subset have been well studied, the functional interaction between these DC subsets under steady-state conditions is poorly understood.Targeting antigen to DC using monoclonal antibodies specific for C-type lectin receptors offers an efficient method to study adaptive responses to antigen presentation by targeted populations of DCs in vivo, and is being developed for therapeutic vaccinations (Steinman and Banchereau, 2007). We have previously developed BAC transgenic mice (huLang) with selective expression of human Langerin, a C-type lectin receptor, on epidermal LC (Bobr et al., 2010). Immunization of these mice with as little as 0.05 μg of α-huLangerin mAb conjugated to the 2W1S model antigen (α-huLang-2W1S) efficiently and selectively targeted LCs, resulting in expansion of endogenous 2W1S-specific CD4+ T cells, which could be detected using 2W1S: IA b tetramer (Yao et al., 2015).
