These antigens were studied with the monoclonal antibodies labelled to avidin-biotin-peroxidase system. The results shows than the proportion between the number of Langerhans cells and HLA-Dr positive cells is inverse. No differences were found between the expression of the HLA-Dr antigens and number of Langerhans cells and volume, depth or metastatic characteristics. | lld:pubmed |
