Abstract:
Microfold cells or membraneous cells(M cell)are special differentiated cells of follicle associated epithelium(FAE) covered underlining lymphoid follicle,called organ-associated lymphoid tissue(OALT).M cells in the GI transport transcellularly antigens or organism selectively from the gut lumen and trigger the immune reaction.As doorkeepers,they manipulate the function channel of intestinal barrier.The features,and the important role in intestinal barrier of M cells are reviewed.
