General Information
Term antigen transcytosis by M cells in mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue ID (Ontology) GO:0002412 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process of antigen transcytosis carried out by M cells in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Transcytosis is the process of the directed movement of endocytosed material through the cell and its exocytosis from the plasma membrane at the opposite side. M cells are specialized epithelia cells with a microfold structure that are adept at moving antigens from the gut lumen to antigen presenting cells in the MALT.[ ISBN:0781735149 PubMed:12843411 ]
Also Known As "antigen transcytosis by M cells in MALT" ; "antigen transport by M cells in MALT" ; "antigen transport by M cells in mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue"
