Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peyer's patches and M cells are both involved in the immune response in the gut. Peyer's patches are areas of aggregated lymphoid tissue in the small intestine, which play a role in the immune surveillance of the intestinal lumen. M cells are specialized cells that overlie Peyer's patches and are involved in the transport of antigens from the gut lumen to the immune cells within Peyer's patches. Therefore, delivering antigens directly to Peyer's patches and M cells would be useful for initiating an immune response.
