<p>As with other [[Secondary Lymphoid Tissue - Anatomy & Physiology|secondary lymphoid tissue]] the role of the MALT is to mount an immune response to pathogenic antigens. Cells in the MALT sample antigens at the mucosal surface and then migrate to regional lymphoid nodes where they divide and differentiate before returning to the mucosal surface as effector cells.</p>
