MET EOYS2 Flashcards
explain the whole gut honing mechanism x
- dendritic cells produce retinoic acid (vitamin A) which induce gut homing T cells to express α4β7 and CCR9.
- Epithelial cells lining gut home T cells by expression of CCL25 (ligand for CCR9) while endothelial cells express MadCAM (ligand for α4β7).
