Normal Structure, Function, and Histology of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue
Open accessAbstract
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) initiates immune responses to specific antigens encountered along all mucosal surfaces. MALT inductive sites are secondary immune tissues where antigen sampling occurs and immune responses are initiated. Effector sites, present as diffuse lymphoid tissue along all mucosal surfaces are the sites of IgA transport across the mucosal epithelium. Though there are many differences between inductive sites in various organs, they all contain the same basic compartments—follicles, interfollicular regions, subepithelial dome regions, and follicle-associated epithelium. The morphologic differences between MALT and other secondary lymphoid tissues, between the MALT sites of differing anatomic locations, and species differences among laboratory animals are described. The morphologic changes in MALT associated with aging, route of nutrition, and genetic mutation (i.e., the nude and SCID mutations) are also discussed. MALT tissues comprise the mucosal immune system which can function independently of the systemic immune system and are, therefore, an important and often overlooked aspect of immunopathology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
