Introduction
Barrier function of porcine colon relies on organization of epithelial cells and mucus
The gastrointestinal tract lies at the interface between host and environment, absorbing nutrients and water into the body while sequestering foreign materials, toxins, pathogens, and commensal flora. As such, the pig’s intestines form a crucial barrier against infection. This gut barrier is compromised during infectious colitis, allowing invading pathogens to colonize the intestines and trigger myriad host responses that attempt to clear the pathogen. Simplistically, intestinal host defenses may be divided into three broad categories: the epithelial and mucus barrier, innate immune responses, and the colonic microbiota (Figure 1). [...]
