Selective Generation of Gut‐Tropic T Cells in Gut‐Associated Lymphoid Tissues: Requirement for GALT Dendritic Cells and Adjuvant

Abstract
To gain entry into peripheral tissues, effector T lymphocytes express specific combinations of adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors. Expression of these are induced during activation in regional secondary lymphoid organs. Herein, we describe a role for GALT DCs in the generation of CCR9(+) alpha(4)beta(7)(+) gut tropic lymphocytes.
