However, the nasal epithelium has little ability to break down drugs. The extensive mucosal surface of the nose has a lining of pseudostratified epithelium as well as cilia and the goblet cells involved in the secretion of mucus. The lymphoid tissue primarily involved in the mucosal immune responses is the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). The different regions of the respiratory tract that play an influencing role in the immune system are as follows ... 

Particles in the size range of 10-50 pm are suitable for nasal vaccination because they can target the Peyer s patch-like cells and macrophages in the nose associate lymphoid tissue (NALT) (75).
