摘要:
Peyer's patch lymphocytes cocultured with Caco-2 cells trigger the phenotypic conversion of enterocytes into cells that express morphological and functional hi-cell properties. We report a technical update for setting up this model, which will enable the study of M-cell biology, the identification by biochemical approaches of molecules involved in the interaction of microorganisms with hi cells, and the development of vectors that would efficiently target the mucosal immune system.
