| Immunocompetent cells of the lymphoid and hemopoietic systems and SKIN, and possessing branching morphology. They function morphologically and phenotypically by processing ANTIGENS or presenting them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating cellular immunity (IMMUNITY, CELLULAR). When found in the skin they are called LANGERHANS CELLS; when found in the lymph nodes, they are called interdigitating cells. | |
