The mucosal immune system protects against infections that enter the body via the mucosae. This article describes how the mucosal immune system functions and how mucosal immune responses can be induced by vaccination. It also discusses various vaccination regimens that maximize the induction of mucosal immune responses against bacterial and viral infections. One paragraph of the article discusses the possibilities of developing vaccines that induce a mucosal immune response against parasite infections.
