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 by which an antigen-presenting cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex. 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. The process by which a dendritic cell expresses antigen (peptide or lipid) on its cell surface in association with an MHC protein complex. Any process involved in the development or functioning of the immune system, an organismal system for calibrated responses to potential internal or invasive threats.
