Peyer's patch

It is also known to be required for normal development of Peyer's patches.

It is quite possible that co-operation between various macrophage subsets takes place in Peyer's patches.

Covering Peyer's patches are a layer of cells called M cells.

Intestinal hemorrhage due to bleeding in congested Peyer's patches; this can be very serious but is usually not fatal.

In the ileum there are occasionally Peyer's patches in the lamina propria.

Peyer's patches are clusters of macrophages and lymphocytes that are organized much like lymph nodes.

After oral uptake yersiniae replicate in the terminal ileum and invade Peyer's patches.

These host cells are generally M cells and Peyer's patches of the intestinal mucosa.

"Peyer's patch dendritic cells provide tissue-specific instructions for effector T cell homing to the gut".

Most S-100 protein + interdigitating dendritic cells were clustered in the interfollicular zones of Peyer's patches.

The viruses become transported through the gastrointestinal tract to the Peyer's patches where they infect the new host's macrophages, and then lymphocytes.

M cells (or microfold cells) are cells found in the follicle-associated epithelium of the Peyer's patch.

Peyer's patches are observable as elongated thickenings of the intestinal epithelium measuring a few centimeters in length.

T cells, B-cells and memory cells are stimulated upon encountering antigen in Peyer's patches.

The transcription factor is essential for lymphoid organogenesis, in particular lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, but not the spleen.

Unfortunately, when M cells bring M. paratuberculosis to the Peyer's patch, the bacteria find an ideal place for growth.

When the prions are absorbed through the intestines, they first appear in the lymph nodes, especially in Peyer's patches at the small intestine.

M cells within the Peyer's patches physically transport the insoluble whole glucan particles into the gut-associated lymphoid tissue.

The hypertrophy of Peyer's patches has also been associated with susceptibility to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (commonly known as prion diseases).

Scrapie prions have been found in the Peyer's patches of naturally infected nonclinical lambs as young as four months of age.

Histological examination of the material showed normal mucosa with frequent appearance of secondary (activated) lymphoid follicles in Peyer's patches.

Gnemonoside M strongly enhanced Th1 cytokine production in cultured Peyer's patch cells from mice at 10 mg/kg/day.

Peyer's patches are a component of GALT found in the lining of the small intestines.)

Conklin conjectured that epileptic seizures were caused when a toxin, secreted from the Peyer's patches in the intestines, was discharged into the bloodstream.

The jejunum contains very few Brunner's glands (found in the duodenum) or Peyer's patches (found in the ileum).
