Intestinal uptake regulates T cell responses to dietary antigens

Ya-Ting Chang, Henry H. Le, Andrew Morrison, Ryan Kong, E.A. Schulman, Tsui-Wen Chou, Jamie Blum

Intestinal uptake, set by protein solubility and goblet versus M cell sampling, limits how strongly different zein preparations induce antigen-specific intestinal T cells in mice.

Microbiota- and diet-specific T cells become Tregs by default

Jeffrey J. Bunker, Jamie Blum, Xiandong Meng, Eugenell Mae Lopez, Allison M. Weakley, Ashley V. Cabrera, Steven Kyle Higginbottom, Ryan Kong, E.A. Schulman, Elizabeth S. Sattely, James J. Moon, Michael Andrew Fischbach

The paper shows that T cells specific for microbiota and diet antigens predominantly become regulatory T cells (iTregs) in the gut, with effector responses emerging only under specific inflammatory and genetic conditions.

Identification and characterization of dietary antigens in oral tolerance

Jamie Blum, Ryan Kong, E. A. Schulman, Francis M. Chen, Rabi Upadhyay, Gabriela Romero‐Meza, Dan R. Littman, Michael Andrew Fischbach, Kazuki Nagashima, Elizabeth S. Sattely

The paper identifies seed storage protein epitopes as targets of intestinal regulatory T cells that modulate immune responses to dietary antigens.
