Mining the Human Gut Microbiota for Effector Strains that Shape the Immune System: Immunity

Mining the Human Gut Microbiota for Effector Strains that Shape the Immune System: Immunity | Mucosal Immunity | Scoop.it
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

The approach begins by identifying uncultured human fecal microbiota samples that transmit immune phenotypes to germ-free mice. Clonally arrayed sequenced collections of bacterial strains are constructed from representative donor microbiota. If the collection transmits phenotypes, effector strains are identified by testing randomly generated subsets with overlapping membership in individually housed germ-free animals. Detailed mechanistic studies of effector strain-host interactions can then be performed.

Interferon-gamma regulates growth and controls Fcgamma receptor expression and activation in human intestinal mast cells

Background:
Development and function of tissue resident mast cells (MCs) is tightly controlled by various cytokines, most of which belong to the typical T helper (Th) 2-type cytokines such as IL-3 and IL-4.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

November 6-8, 2014

Emerging data suggests that environmental factors, including commensal microbes and dietary components, can influence immune cell development and disease. Several studies are clarifying which particular cell types, including innate lymphoid cells and novel helper T cell subsets, are detecting these factors, as well as the sensors in these cells triggering the production of inflammatory mediators. This symposium aims to take a broad look at emerging data in this field, surveying how recent developments in our understanding of immune homeostasis can be harnessed to develop new therapeutics to treat disease.
