Migratory dermal dendritic cells act as rapid sensors of protozoan parasites.

Migratory dermal dendritic cells act as rapid sensors of protozoan parasites.

Dendritic cells (DC), including those of the skin, act as sentinels for intruding microorganisms. In the epidermis, DC (termed Langerhans cells, LC) are sessile and screen their microenvironment through occasional movements of their dendrites.
