Segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are found in multiple species and play an important role in the development of mucosal immunity. The mechanism by which the bacteria interact with the immune system has not been well defined. We provide morphologic evidence of direct interaction between SFB and intraepithelial mononuclear cells.
分节丝状菌(SFB)存在于多种物种中,在黏膜免疫的发育中发挥重要作用。细菌与免疫系统相互作用的机制尚未明确。我们提供了分节丝状菌与上皮内单核细胞直接相互作用的形态学证据。
