1. The mucosal surface was rinsed with ice cold isotonic saline solution. 2. Locally produced polymeric IgA antibodies may therefore be the principal immune stimulator of eosinophil effector functions at mucosal surfaces, both in protective and tissue destructive situations. 3. A number of cells on the mucosal surface projected lamellipodia into the epithelial gaps, while some neck cells had mitosis. 4. Rectal biopsy specimens were divided into tiny explants and orientated mucosal surface uppermost on a metal grid within an organ culture dish. 5. Scanning electron microscopy, which affords a high resolution view of the mucosal surface, proved a very effective way of detecting the organism. 6. This electrical control activity can be detected by electrodes placed surgically in the bowel wall or by electrodes placed against the mucosal surface by intubation techniques. 7. The importance of phospholipid adherence to the mucosal surface in gastric cytoprotection was first reported by Lichtenberger et al. 8. Otherwise, if the nematode is temporarily or permanently some distance from the mucosal surface, energy metabolism is probably largely anaerobic. 9. Where parasites are congregated within a small area, erosion of the mucosal surface is apparent. 10. The adults occur on mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and feeding is generally by the ingestion of plugs of mucosa. |
