Abstract:
By using ATP-ase histochemical and OKT6 colloidal goldsilver immunohi- stochemical methods, we have studied the location and distribution of Langer- han's cells (LCs) in human esophageal epithelium. The results of our study showed that the dendritic LCs scatter in the basal and middle layers of the esophageal epithelium. The morphology and density of LCs are variable as the age grows and the location changes, more LCs are found in the adult esophageal epithelium than in the foetus, and more LCs are found in the lower segment of esophagus than in the upper segment.
