Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Privileged sites are locations in the body where the immune response is deliberately suppressed to avoid damaging vital tissues. These locations include the uterus, anterior chamber of the eye and testes, but not necessarily because they have strong immune responses against certain pathogens. M cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) play a role in generating immune responses to pathogens present in the gut, but this is not a defining characteristic of privileged sites. The fact that they are not accessible to most pathogens, due to anatomical barriers or other factors, is a more accurate description of privileged sites.
