This epithelium represents a vast surface area that is vulnerable to foreign antigens and microbial pathogens. By being in contact with a large number of potentially harmful substances and infectious organisms, the mucosal surface must provide mechanisms not only to regulate the entry of macromolecules but to serve as an exporter of secretory antibodies for mucosal defence.
