Using Precisely Defined in vivo Microbiotas to Understand Microbial Regulation of IgE

Early life exposure to microbes plays an important role in immune system development. Germ-free mice, or mice colonized with a low-diversity microbiota, exhibit high serum IgE levels. An increase in microbial richness, providing it occurs in a critical developmental window early in life, leads to in...
