Several chemokines have important functions in mucosal immunity. While there are many chemokines, 4 of them (CCL25, CCL28, CXCL14, and CXCL17) are especially important in mucosal immunity because they are homeostatically expressed in mucosal tissues. Of these, only CCL25 and CCL28 have been widely recognized as mucosal chemokines.

Mucosal dendritic cells shape mucosal immunity [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) are key modulators that shape the immune system. In mucosal tissues, DCs act as surveillance systems to sense infection and also function as professional antigen-presenting cells that stimulate the differentiation of naive T and B cells.

Mucosal Immunity/Mucosal Vaccine
ヒトや動物には,外敵から身体を守るために免疫系が備わっている.多くのウイルスや病原菌の侵入口である粘膜面には効果的な「粘膜免疫」が存在し,抗原特異的分泌型IgA応答や細胞障害性T細胞(CTL)を誘導する.各粘膜は共通粘膜免疫機構(common mucosal immune system(CMIS))により関連をもち,ある粘膜組織で誘導されたIgA産生細胞やCTLは他の粘膜組織にも帰巣(ホーミング)する.とくに,分泌型IgA産生細胞は,腸管関連リンパ組織(GALT),鼻咽頭関連リンパ組織(NALT)および気管支関連リンパ組織(BALT)などの誘導組織(inductive site)で誘導され,実効組織(effector site)である腸管粘膜固有層,呼吸器粘膜固有層,乳腺,涙腺,唾液腺 ...
