• although the number of Langerhans cells is substantially reduced compared to in wild-type mice, a variable number of Langerhans cells are present in the epidermis (0.02% to 0.59% of total epidermal cells compared to 0.46% to 0.89% in wild-type mice)
• the ratio of Langerhans cells in the epidermis increases with age

• fetuses die by E16-E17 due to multi-organ abnormalities
|
• epithelial branching morphogenesis is disrupted causing cystic malformations in proximal airways
• however, lung epithelial cell identity and differentiation remain unaffected
|
• at E15.5, both the shape and size of lung lobes is abnormal
• however, the overall process of lobation and number of lobes are normal
|
• abnormal epithelial morphogenesis results in cystic, dilated bronchi that lack parabronchial smooth muscle cells
|
• at E15.5, the first and the second generation bronchi are devoid of cartilage
|
• at E15.5, fetuses display large, dilated proximal airways lined with columnar epithelial cells
|
• at E15.5, both the number and shape of tracheal cartilage is abnormal
|
• at E15.5, the number of tracheal cartilage rings appears to be reduced
|
• at E15.5, both the number and shape of tracheal cartilage is abnormal
|
• at E15.5, the number of tracheal cartilage rings appears to be reduced
