Langhans giant cells are generated by fusingseveral of these cells together. These cells are responsible for storing iron in the form of hemosiderin.These cells express CD68 and MAC-1 on their surface. In atherosclerosis, these cells turn into foamcells, and those present in the liver are a key part of the reticulo-endothelial system and are namedfor (*) Kupffer. These cells originate from peripheral blood monocytes, and like dendritic cells they areresponsible for using MHC class II to present antigens to helper T cells.
