Preferred Label : Intraepithelial Lymphocytes;
MeSH definition : T Lymphocytes with limited diversity of receptors (e.g., ALPHA E INTEGRINS) in the
epidermis of the skin and the mucosal linings. They recognize common microbes via
T-CELL RECEPTORS and PATHOGEN-ASSOCIATED MOLECULAR PATTERN MOLECULES and function
as effector cells for INNATE IMMUNITY. Activation of intraepithelial lymphocytes is
a marker for various gastrointestinal diseases (e.g., CELIAC DISEASE; HAIRY CELL LEUKEMIA;
and ENTEROPATHY-ASSOCIATED T-CELL LYMPHOMA).;
