SUMMARY
Since most human infections require that microbes breach the epithelial barrier, epithelial_cells have evolved to contribute to resistance to infection by providing robust local immunity. Antimicrobial proteins are expressed by epithelial_cells from tissues ranging from the gingiva to the cornea of the eye and to the Paneth cells of the intestines. Resulting interferon signaling increases the production of mucins, contributing to the release and spread from . . .
