Abstract
During the last five years there has been increasing interest in the mucosal immunology of patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Since whatever triggers the inflammatory response within the mucosa is likely to operate at mucosal level, it seems probable that this interest will continue. Many aspects of the immune response are being studied and these are best considered by following some of the events which occur between the presence of an antigen in the lumen and a fully developed local immune response.
