immune system
• Peyer's patch cells exhibit smaller bacterial load of Salmonella typhimurium and Yersinia enterocolitica compared with wild-type cells
|
• in transfer experiments, intestinal microfold cells but not immune cells confer impaired immune response to Salmonella typhimurium compared with wild-type cells
• Peyer's patch cells exhibit smaller bacterial load of Yersinia enterocolitica compared with wild-type cells

digestive/alimentary system
N |
• mice exhibit normal goblet, Paneth and enteroendocrine cell differentiation
|
• intestinal microfold cells exhibit impaired RANKL-induced differentiation compared to in wild-type mice
• in transfer experiments, differentiation defect is cell intrinsic
