T cell tolerance and immunity to commensal bacteria Katherine M Nutsch,Chyi-Song Hsieh Department of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO 63110, United States http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.coi.2012.04.009,
Highlights ► Tolerance is required to commensal bacteria and depends on regulatory T cells. ► Regulatory T cells specific to commensal bacteria are generated from naïve T cells in the periphery. ► Bacterial products can facilitate Treg cell function via the induction of IL-10, an immunosuppressive cytokine. ► Specific commensal bacterial species induce inflammatory or tolerogenic T cell responses in the gut.
