The gut patrol

Caption

This image captures intraepithelial T cells (blue dots) and collagen in the basement membrane (green). This view shows how the cells and the basement membrane are connected. The black space is not empty--it is filled with cells in the intestinal villus, but they were not labeled with fluorescent antibodies so they do not show up.
