Abstract
⺠Tolerance is required to commensal bacteria and depends on regulatory T cells. ⺠Regulatory T cells specific to commensal bacteria are generated from naïve T cells in the periphery. ⺠Bacterial products can facilitate Treg cell function via the induction of IL-10, an immunosuppressive cytokine. ⺠Specific commensal bacterial species induce inflammatory or tolerogenic T cell responses in the gut.
