Skin and Immunology

The skin is an immunological organ, consisting of a variety of specialised cellular and soluble mediators, including skin cells (keratinocytes), Langerhans cells, dermal  dendritic  cells,  resident  T  cells, monocytes, complement, antibodies, and antimicrobial peptides. The  skin  holds  an  estimated  20 billion  T  cells!  The diverse  and  functionally  specialized  components  of the immune system sense and respond to infection or  various  barrier  breaches  to  activate  an  immune response and eventually return to homeostasis (steady state). However, poorly regulated immune responses can also cause inflammatory skin disorders.
