Abstract excerpt
The basolateral membranes of intestinal M cells are invaginated to form large intraepithelial "pockets" that are populated by specific sub-sets of mucosal leukocytes, including CD4+ T cells, memory and naïve B cells, and occasional dendritic cells. The adhesion molecules involved in leukocyte trafficking and/or retention within this unique immunological niche are unknown. In this study, we used immunofluorescence...
