Activated Peyer′s patch B cells sample antigen directly from M cells in the subepithelial dome
Gut lumen antigens must be continuously sampled by the immune system to maintain proper immune homeostasis. Here the authors show that activated CCR6+CCR1+GL7- gut B cells retrieve lumen antigens from specialized M cells and transfer them across the subepithelial dome in the Peyer’s patch to contrib...
