Host Langerin (CD207) is a receptor for Yersinia pestis phagocytosis and promotes dissemination

Abstract

Yersinia pestis is a Gram‐negative bacterium that causes plague. After Y. pestis overcomes the skin barrier, it encounters antigen‐presenting cells (APCs), such as Langerhans and dendritic cells. They transport the bacteria from the skin to the lymph nodes. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in bacterial transmission are unclear. Langerhans cells...
