Special Feature on Mucosal Immunity and Vaccines
Effective vaccines that protect at mucosal surfaces are much needed. This special feature of Experimental & Molecular Medicine contains four review articles that provide an overview of our current understanding of mucosal immunity and mucosal vaccines. The articles cover a range of key topics including regulatory T cell vaccination, antigen targeting to M cells, mucosal mast cells and the role mucosal dendritic cells play in shaping mucosal immunity.
