The pattern of surface density and distribution of Langerhans Cells (LC) in the Swiss
Webster (SW) albino mouse is reported. LC were demonstrated using ATP-Pb and their
densities evaluated in the skin of anterior and posterior foot-pads, tail, abdomen, back and
ear. Cells were counted using a light microscope with a drawing tube by projecting 0.01
mm2 areas at 150X magnification. The distribution and density of LC were quite different in
the various regions of SW mouse skin.
