Protection against Mucosal Infections by Secretory IgA
In the past decade, several model systems have been developed to study the details of the production of secretory IgA by the mucosal surface. Until recently, most attention in vaccine research has been directed toward establishing a vigorous systemic (predominantly IgG) humoral immune response to the infectious agent. With the recognition, however, that secretory IgA is overwhelmingly the predo...
متن کاملGastroduodenal mucosal alkaline secretion and mucosal protection.
The gastroduodenal mucosa is a dynamic barrier restricting entry of gastric acid and other potentially hostile luminal contents. Mucosal HCO3(-) is a key element in preventing epithelial damage, and knowledge about HCO3(-) transport processes, including the role of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator channel, and their neurohumoral control are in rapid progress.
متن کاملGASTRIC MUCOSAL PROTECTION Peripheral mechanisms of gastric mucosal protection: mediators, receptors Gastric mucosal barrier to acid
Gastric mucosal integrity can be influenced both by peripheral and central mechanisms. In the last decades the peripheral mechanisms of gastric mucosal defense have been intensively studied, and many details have been clarified. Some of these results have served as a basis for the development of new strategies, therapeutic targets in the treatment of gastric mucosal lesions. On the other hand, ...
متن کاملDuodenal mucosal protection by bicarbonate secretion and its mechanisms.
Proximal portion of duodenum is exposed to intermittent pulses of gastric H(+) discharged by the stomach. This review summarizes the mechanisms of duodenal mucosal integrity, mainly the role of mucus-alkaline secretion and the mucous barrier protecting surface epithelium against gastric H(+). The mucous barrier protects the leaky duodenal epithelium against each pulse of gastric H(+), which pen...
متن کاملAccumulation of phosphatidylcholine on gut mucosal surface is not dominated by electrostatic interactions.
The accumulation of phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the intestinal mucus layer is crucial for the protection of colon epithelia from the bacterial attack. It has been reported that the depletion of PC is a distinct feature of ulcerative colitis. Here we addressed the question how PC interacts with its binding proteins, the mucins, which may establish the hydrophobic barrier against colonic microbio...
