LL Presley, B Wei, J Braun, J Borneman. (2010). " Bacteria associated with immunoregulatory cells in mice. " Appl Environ Microbiol. 76, 936-41. PMID: 20008175 DOI: 10.1128/AEM.01561-09
This study examined bacteria-immune interactions in a mouse model possessing microbiota-dependent immune regulatory features similar to those occurring in human atopy, colitis, and immune regulation. Associations between the abundance of several bacterial phylotypes and immunoregulatory target cell types were identified, suggesting that they may play a role in these phenotypes.
