In the first part, structure and function of gut-associated mucosal tissue (GALT), including the role of secretory immunoglobulins and importance of oral tolerance are shown. In the second part, the pathogenesis of unknown origin gastrointestinal and liver diseases (gluten sensitive enteropathy, inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune liver diseases, autoimmune pancreatitis) is described.
