which indicates that the CXCL16-mediated accumulation of NKT cells in the NALT and CLNs is required for stimulating maximal secretory IgA production. Finally, in vitro and in vivo analysis showed ...

Thus low concentrations of lymphocytes, suppressed natural immunity, suppressed lymphocyte proliferation, and suppressed levels of secretory IgA in saliva are found simultaneously with high levels of ...
