The vast majority of medically important pathogens infect their host across a body surface such as the skin, or across a mucosal tissue such as the respiratory tract or intestines, as these sites are the ones exposed to the external environment. By focusing on immunity at mucosa…

Covers the basic aspects of immunology with a particular focus on the mucosa, the largest immune organ in the body. Provides a step-by-step explanation of how the immune system clears pathogens from the host from the moment the pathogen enters the host to the moment it is destro…

Conventional immunology textbooks tend to overlook the importance of defense mechanisms that keep pathogens from crossing the skin or mucosal membranes such as those in the respiratory and digestive systems, says Williams (respiratory research, U. College London). He seeks a bal…
