Abstract

Gut mucosa constitutes the largest contact surface between the host and the external environment, and it is the most common site of colonization and invasion of susceptible pathogen. As an important line of defense protecting host against the infestation of foreign pathogenic microorganisms, gut mucosal immune barrier can take advantage of immune cells and immune-related material to produce specific immune responses stimulated by antigens. And it can down-regulate the immune responses or produce immune tolerance to harmless antigens. Research on mechanism of gut mucosal immune barrier and protective measures to prevent and recover impaired immune function can have great significance for normal immune barrier function normally and production practice.
