Describe how the composition of MALT tissue bypasses the need for dendritic cells to travel to
the lymph node to present antigen to B and T cells. What benefit does this provide, given that gut
mucosal membranes are a major avenue for pathogen entry? Is this benefit provided during the
first or subsequent encounters with a specific pathogen? Why?
Solution
Ans Problem 3. Problem Type: Comprehension:
MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) is scattered along all mucosal linings of body and is
responsible for initiating immune responses to antigens that are specifically encountered along
these mucosal linings.
Mucosal epithelium contains special flat epithelial cells called M (which are membrane-like)
cells or FAE (also known as follicle associated epithelial cells). These special cells take small
amounts of gut antigens that enter the lumen of gut, and pass them to antigen producing cells and
lymphocytes of the MALT. M Cells also produce B-lymphocytes in gut react to micro-organisms
that tend to cross mucosa, and make IgA type of antibodies, which are then secreted directly onto
the gut lumen. These antibodies help in prevention of micro-organisms entering the gut by
sticking to the epithelium of gut, and can neutralise toxins and viruses both first and
subsequently also due to presence of memory B cells and T cells that then move to mucosal
effector sites.
