Langerhans cells were demonstrated among the mononuclear cells in inflamed labial minor salivary glands in a patient with primary SjÖgren's syndrome. Langerhans cells were visualized by the monoclonal antibody, OKT6, by an indirect immunofluorescence technique. The possible role of Langerhans cells as antigen‐presenting cells in diseased glandular tissue in primary SjÖgren's syndrome must be further studied.
