Table 7. Summary of the distribution of CD1a-positive Langerhans cells, CD8-positive T lymphocytes, and CD68-positive macrophages.

Langerhans cell Other 2 cells Migration to the epithelium
Oral floor Evenly, spherical Rich Lymphocyte ++, macrophage ±
Lower lip Evenly, dendritic Rich Lymphocyte +, macrophage ±
Conjunctiva Evenly, dendritic Very rich Lymphocyte +, macrophage ±
Anal canal Concentrated, dendritica) Few Lymphocyte -, macrophage -
Penile skin Concentrated, dendritic Very rich Lymphocyte ++, macrophage -

Langerhans cell, CD1a-postivie cell; lymphocyte, CD8-positive cell; macrophage, CD68-posiive cell. Evenly or concentrated: they were evenly distributed along the epithelium or concentrated at the bottom of the skin groove (penile skin) or in finger-like protrusions of the stratum spinosum between papillae (anal canal). a)The dendritic cells were not directing toward the epithelial surface but lay in parallel with the epithelial surface.
