Morphological Characterization of Intrafollicular Epithelial Bodies (IFEBs) in Rabbit Peyer's Patches. [PDF]
Follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) covering the lymphoid follicles of Peyer’s patches (PPs) plays a central role in mucosal immunity. Here, we investigated FAE-derived intrafollicular epithelial bodies (IFEBs) that apparently detach from the FAE and ...
