Evidence for Local Expansion of IgA Plasma Cell Precursors in Human Ileum
28 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
IgA plays a crucial role in establishment and maintenance of mucosal homeostasis between host cells and commensal bacteria. To this end, numerous IgA plasma cells are located in the intestinal lamina propria. Whether the (immediate) precursor cells for these plasma cells can expand locally is not completely known and was studied here. The total number of IgA plasma cells in human ileal biopsies was counted....
