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 ...

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.

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

Mucosal Immunity

2022
This chapter outlines the function of a mucosal tissue, including its role in detecting and combating pathogens that come into contact with mucosal surfaces. It describes the lymphoid tissue associated with mucosal surfaces and explains how it functions in a unique way to activate an immune response.

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.

[Mucosal immunity].

Tijdschrift voor diergeneeskunde, 1991
The mucosal immune system protects against infections that enter the body via the mucosae. This article describes how the mucosal immune system functions and how mucosal immune responses can be induced by vaccination. It also discusses various vaccination regimens that maximize the induction of mucosal immune responses against bacterial and viral ...
