respuesta inmunitaria de mucosa
Scope note: Ausencia de susceptibilidad a los efectos patógenos de microorganismos extraños o de sustancias antigénicas como consecuencia de las secreciones de anticuerpos de las membranas mucosas. Los epitelios mucosos de los tractos gastrointestinal, respiratorio y reproductor producen una forma de IgA (INMUNOGLOBULINA A SECRETORIA) que realiza la función de defender estas puertas de entrada en el cuerpo.
