ABSTRACT
The follicle associated epithelium (FAE) which separates the lymphoid follicle of Peyer's patch from the gut lumen is known to have specialized cells called M cells or "microfold" cells in man and certain animals. These cells are considered to be involved in antigen uptake and transport. Our light microscopic study of the small intestine of bonnet monkeys suggested the presence of such specialised cells in FAE. We have confirmed the presence of M cells in bonnet monkey FAE having ultrastructural features very similar to those of human M cells.
