          Abstract

          Transcytosis plays a central role in the immunological functions of epithelia, including the sampling of antigens that enter the body via the digestive, respiratory and urogenital tracts and their presentation to underlying lymphoid tissues, the secretion of specific immunoglobulins required for the immune protection of mucosal surfaces and the transfer of maternal immunoglobulins to the fetus or newborn, providing the latter with passive immunity for the first weeks of independent life.
