absorption of allergens by intestinal wall - (May/22/2014 )

Hello,

I can't find the step in the IgE-mediated food allergy between: when an allergen, peptide is in the gut and when an allergen is binding to an APC-cell.

How is it absorbed, by an M-cel, dendritic cell, enderocytose, phagocytose or trancytose,... ? And what happens than, does it comes right into the bloodstream or...?

Can somebody help me please?

Thanks!

I think absorption occurs as presented in this text: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfold_cell
