Expression of Neuropeptides on Human Epidermal Langerhans Cells

  • Chapter
Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunology

Abstract

The response of nervous system to stimuli consists of the release of neuropeptides (NP) which act on biological functions and especially on immunity (l).but their effects on immune cells are not well known.
