## Abstract Dendritic cells make up less than 1% of the cells in lymph nodes and tissues, but they are critical in initiating and directing T cell immune responses. In the gut, with exposure to myriad food and bacterial antigens, they probably control T cell unresponsiveness to food antigens and T
Measurements of epithelial cell proliferation in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract pointed out the existence of cell kinetic abnormalities which can be involved in the first steps of carcinogenesis. In particular, an increase in the cell proliferation rate and an abnormal distribution of prol
