Abstract
Langerhans cells are known to express some neurological markers, such as S100 protein, neuron specific enolase (1) and many neuropeptides (2). Expression, effects or production of neurotransmitters were also described on other immune cells, especially on lymphocytes, mastocytes, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (3).
