Microbiota and Mucosal Immunity in Amphibians [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2015
We know that animals live in a world dominated by bacteria. In the last 20 years, we have learned that microbes are essential regulators of mucosal immunity. Bacteria, archeas, and viruses influence different aspects of mucosal development and function. Yet, the literature mainly covers findings obtained in mammals.

Mucosal immunity

Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
Advances have been made in understanding specialized aspects of acquired mucosal immunity and the importance of cross-talk between host innate and acquired immune responses in host mucosal defense. These advances include elucidation of a molecular basis for the coordinated trafficking and retention of lymphocytes in intestinal sites, new insights into ...

MUCOSAL IMMUNITY*

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1983
Mucosal defense is provided by a number of host factors countering the specific virulence factors of the many microorganisms infecting the mucous membranes. Secretory IgA antibodies presumably play an important role. Increase of the sIgA antibodies may most advantageously be attained by parenteral immunization, following mucosal priming.

Mucosal Immunity

Pediatrics, 2003
Food allergy is the manifestation of an abnormal immune response to antigen delivered by the oral route. Normal mucosal immune responses are generally associated with suppression of immunity. A normal mucosal immune response relies heavily on a number of factors: strong physical barriers, luminal digestion of potential antigens, selective antigen ...

Bacteria and mucosal immunity

Digestive and Liver Disease, 2006
In normal individuals, the intestine is a site of intense immunological activity due to the continuous stimulation by luminal antigens mostly derived from the normal bacterial flora. This is reflected in the huge amount of IgA produced in the gut and the abundant T cells in the lamina propria and epithelium.

Oral mucosal immunity

Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology, 2013
Oral keratinocytes and dendritic cells of the oral mucosa, through molecular pattern recognition receptors, distinguish between commensal and pathogenic microorganisms and mediate the generation of protective immunoinflammatory responses to potentially invading pathogens or mediate immune tolerance toward commensal microorganisms. Oral immune tolerance

The development of mucosal immunity

European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2005
The development of the intestinal immune system is a complex sequence of events that begins in utero under various genetic influences, but continues after birth, being modified by factors such as bacteria, hormones and feeds. This review discusses what is known about the ontogeny of each aspect of the mucosal immune system so as to provide a better ...

The mucosal immune system

Parasite Immunology, 2003
SUMMARYThis article outlines the lymphoid structures and cell types important in the intestinal immune response. Particular attention is paid to differences between rodents and man where there appears to be fundamental differences in the sources of the T and B cells which populate the mucosa.

Innate Immunity in the Mucosal Immune System

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2006
The mucosal immune system is equipped with unique innate and acquired defense mechanisms which provide a first line of protection against ingested and inhaled infectious agents. Peyer's patches (PPs) and nasopharynx-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) have been shown to be important inductive sites for the initiation of the acquired phase of antigen ...

Advances in Mucosal Immunity

Drugs, 1997
The mucosal immune system is the major interface between the host and the microbial environment and, given that role, it is not surprising that it contains the majority of the cells of the host immune system. The mucosal immune system is organised into inductive and effector sites.
