Abstract
The mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) comprises all the lymphoid and mononuclear cells in the epithelia and lamina propria beneath the mucosal surface. MALT includes the upper respiratory tract and tonsils, the bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue (BALT), the salivary, lacrimal and lactating mammary glands, the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and the uro-genital tract.
