Interactions between commensal bacteria and mucosal immunocompetent cells
1999-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The intestinal mucosa, colonised by commensal microorganisms, constitutes the interface with the external environment, through which most pathogens initiate infectious processes. Intestinal mechanisms of defense need to discriminate accurately between comensal microflora and exogenous pathogens. We studied the capacity of mucosal immunocompetent cells to react to bacterial signals generated by non-pathogenic micro...
