The Membranous Epithelial (M) Cell and the Mucosal Immune System
Abstract
Membranous epithelial (M) cells are specialized epithelial cells overlying the subepithelial lymphoid follicles in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Antigens, including some viruses and bacteria, penetrate the mucosal barrier via the M cell, which endocytoses and transports antigens and microorganisms into the Peyer's patch or bronchial-associated lymphoid tissue. Here antigens may initiate an immune response and/or disseminate and induce disease. This review discusses the structure and function of the M cell, its role in macromolecular uptake, and its interaction with the immune system.

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.
