Abstract excerpt
The Peyer's patches of the terminal ileum are a source of IgA plasma cells in the intestinal lamina propria of experimental animals. They are also thought to harbour IgA memory cells. However, the microanatomical location of Peyer's patch memory cells, and whether they are also present in man is not known. Human Peyer's patches have a pronounced marginal zone (MGZ) of sIgD-negative B cells. In this study we...
