Mucosal and Regional Immunology

Mucosal immunology is the study of immune responses that take place at the mucosal membranes of the respiratory system, urogenital tract, and intestines. Food, inhaled allergens, and microbes are constantly in touch with the mucous membranes.

When functioning properly, the mucosal immune system defends the body against infectious pathogens and maintains tolerance for commensal bacteria and benign environmental elements. Pathological problems including food allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, infection susceptibility, and more can result from the disruption of this equilibrium between pathogen tolerance and deprivation.
