Organization of Mucosal Lymphoid Tissue

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology ((CT MICROBIOLOGY,volume 236))

Abstract

Mucous membranes form interfaces between internal microenvironments that are subject to homeostatic regulation and external environments that vary widely and are frequently contaminated with microbes and other potentially injurious agents. To offset their inherent vulnerability, mucosal surfaces have therefore been endowed with specialized defense mechanisms, many of which have an immune component.
