Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. An immune response taking place in mucosal tissues, including those of the intestinal tract, nasal and upper respiratory tract, and genital tract. Immune response taking place in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). Mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue is typically found as nodules associated with mucosal epithelia with distinct internal structures including B- and T-zones for the activation of lymphocytes. The process of antigen samples carried out by M cells in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. The process of antigen sampling carried out by dendritic cells in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. The process initiating the mucosal immune response which entails the apical-to-basolateral delivery of soluble and particulate antigens to underlying mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
