Mucosal Immunology: Unravelling the Complexities of Immune Defence at Barrier Surfaces

Jiva Sharma

Mucosal immunology is a specialized field of study that focuses on the immune response at mucosal surfaces, such as those found in the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts. The mucosal immune system plays a crucial role in protecting the body from pathogens while maintaining tolerance to harmless substances and commensal microorganisms. This article provides an overview of mucosal immunology, exploring its anatomy, components, functions, and significance in health and disease. The abstract emphasizes the importance of understanding mucosal immunity in disease prevention, autoimmune disorders, and potential therapeutic strategies.
