Homeostatic IL-23 receptor signaling limits Th17 response through IL-22–mediated containment of commensal microbiota
8 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian hosts are colonized with commensal microbes in various mucosal and epithelial tissues, including the intestinal tract. In mice, the presence of segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) promotes Th17 differentiation and the development of autoimmune disease. Here, we demonstrate that the IL-23 pathway dynamically regulates the abundance of SFB as well as mucosal barrier function in the adult animal. Genetic...
