Abstract

In the infested skin of tick-resistant guinea pigs, indirect immunofluorescence techniques have revealed that antigens from the ticks' salivary glands are associated with discrete dendritic cells in the epidermis. Evidence is presented to support the suggestion that these antigen-retaining cells are Langerhans cells.
