Habitat degradation impacts black howler monkey (Alouatta pigra) gastrointestinal microbiomes (2013, background): “Future studies should examine the relationship between howler GI microbiome composition and health directly by measuring health factors that might be influenced by the microbiome such as glucocorticoid levels, parasite abundance and diversity and immunoglobulin A levels (Macpherson et al., 2008; Nei”
Intestinal permeability – a new target for disease prevention and therapy (2014, background): “In addition to the T cell-dependent pathway for IgA production, there is a faster mechanism for generating IgA responses to highly conserved antigenic determinants on commensal bacteria and pathogens [42,43].”
The two mucus layers of colon are organized by the MUC2 mucin, whereas the outer layer is a legislator of host–microbial interactions (2010, background): “Macpherson AJ, McCoy KD, Johansen FE, Brandtzaeg P (2008) The immune geography of IgA induction and function.”
Mucosal immunoglobulins and B cells of Teleost fish (2011, background): “It is accepted that the mucosal immune system is more complex than its systemic counterpart both in terms of effectors and anatomy (Brandtzaeg, 2009; Cerutti and Rescigno, 2008; Fagarasan, 2008; Macpherson et al., 2008) and, as a consequence, its nomenclature also becomes more intricate.”
The mucus and mucins of the goblet cells and enterocytes provide the first defense line of the gastrointestinal tract and interact with the immune system (2014, neutral): “Of special importance are of course the B cells, which secrete IgA that is transported through the enterocytes into the lumen, where it helps to control intestinal bacteria (123).”
