Electrophysiology and immunity of the mucosa in intestinal infections.
We present here some of the major concepts and approaches to study the electrophysiology of the intestinal mucosa, and review the pathophysiology of intestinal infections caused by enteropathogenic bacteria, protozoa--especially our own work on experimental amebiasis using intestinal preparations mounted in the Ussing chamber--and nematodes, and finally discuss briefly the immunophysiology of the intestinal mucosa.
