Abstract
It has been well established that the epithelia are major components of the immune system. Together with secondary lymphoid organs (ig. lymph nodes, Payer´s patch, etc.), they comprise the activation sites of the Skin and Mucosal Immune Systems, also known as Peripheral or Tegumentary Immune System. Therefore, the epidermis is an essential place for immune modulation.
