Abstract

Mucosal antigen presentation plays a crucial role in the initiation and regulation of immune responses at mucosal surfaces, such as the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms involved in mucosal antigen presentation and discusses its significance in orchestrating effective immune responses against pathogens and foreign antigens. Understanding the intricacies of mucosal antigen presentation is essential for the development of novel vaccines and therapies targeting mucosal infections and mucosalassociated diseases.
