Question
Please explain why
Secretory IgA produced in the epithelium of mucosal surfaces has several functions in protective immunity. Among these are neutralization of
pathogens or toxins in the gastrointestinal tract lumen or in epithelial ce!l endosomes, neutralization of pathcgens or toxins that cross the
epithelial barrier, and transport of pathogens or toxins across M cells for delivery to lamina propria dendritic cells. All of these functions share
the common feature that they:
Are efficient at inducing opsonization of pathogens for uptake by phagocytes
Are efficient at inducing complement activation
Fail to completely protect the epithelium from cytotoxic effects of pathogens
O Fail to induce local inflammation in the gastrointestinal epithelium
Mice lacking the poly Ig receptor (plgR) have an immunodeficiency disease characterized by increased susceptibility to mucosai infections
and an increase in the penetration of commensal microbes into the bcdy's tissues. Yet, a genetic deficiency in the production of igA
antibodies is the most common form of human immunodeficiency, and is generally a mild disease and often even asymptomatic. This
dichotomy can be explained by
O The different types of commensal microbes found in mice and humans
The ability of plgR to transport igM across the gut epithelium
O The reduced exposure of humans compared to mice to pathogens that infect via the gastrointestinal epithelium
O The difference in the immune system between mice and humans
