Abstract excerpt
Recent evidence has been provided for the immunological role of MHC class II molecules constitutively expressed by small intestinal epithelial cells (EC) in antigen presentation to specific T cells. Using immunohistochemical methods and antibodies to molecules expressed by dendritic cells (DC), considered as the most potent antigen presenting cell type, we observed that mature enterocytes of gut villi share...
