The intestine represents the largest compartment of the immune system. It is continually
exposed to antigens and immunomodulatory agents from the diet and the commensal microbiota…

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) are the key antigen sampling and adaptive immune
inductive sites within the intestinal wall. Human GALT includes the multi-follicular Peyer's …

The intestinal mucosa represents the largest body surface toward the external environment
and harbors numerous T lymphocytes that take up resident within the intestinal epithelium or …

These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the
immunology and flow cytometry community. They provide the theory and key practical aspects of …

Chemokine receptor CX3CR1 + dendritic cells (DCs) have been suggested to sample
intestinal antigens by extending transepithelial dendrites into the gut lumen. Other studies …

Gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) dendritic cells (DCs) display a unique ability to generate
CCR9 + α 4 β 7 + gut-tropic CD8 + effector T cells. We demonstrate efficient induction of …

The immune system has evolved specialized cellular and molecular mechanisms for
targeting and regulating immune responses at epithelial surfaces. Here we show that small …

… Coombes, Pia-Lena Berg, Thomas Davidsson, Fiona Powrie, Bengt Johansson-Lindbom,
William W. Agace; Small intestinal CD103 + dendritic cells display unique functional properties …

CD103 + CD11b + dendritic cells (DCs) represent the major migratory DC population within
the small intestinal lamina propria (SI-LP), but their in vivo function remains unclear. Here …

TECK (thymus-expressed chemokine), a recently described CC chemokine expressed in
thymus and small intestine, was found to mediate chemotaxis of human G protein–coupled …
