We report here the existence of a novel subset of langerin (CD207)-positive, immature dendritic cells (DCs) (CD83(neg)) abundantly infiltrating Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-infected areas in tonsil, Hodgkin lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These CD207(+) DCs differ from conventional epidermal Langerhans cells in their lack of CD1a and CCR6 and their unusual tissue localization. CD207(+) DC infiltration strongly correlates with EBV infection because it was neither detected in EBV negative specimens nor in tissues infected with other human viruses. These immature DCs might represent good candidates for induction of the EBV-specific immune response.
