<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 [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph nodes]] where they divide and differentiate before returning to the mucosal surface as effector cells.</p>
