Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Altered host immune reactivity to microbial antigens is hypothesized to trigger the onset of Crohn's disease (CD). We aimed to assess whether increased serum anti-microbial antibody response in asymptomatic first-degree relatives (FDRs) of CD patients is an independent risk factor for future CD development. METHODS: We measured host serum antibody response to 6 microbial antigens at...
