Gut Bacteria Prime Host Antibody Responses Against Ingested Dietary Fiber Glycans
2026-08-13
Abstract excerpt
Protein and glycan antigens synthesized by gut microbes stimulate circulating and secreted antibody production. Despite continuous exposure of hosts to the plant glycans that constitute dietary fiber, it remains unclear whether these foreign structures induce mucosal immune responses. We report that humans and mice generate antibodies specific for common glycans in plant foods. Oral exposure to individual fiber ty...
