Abstract

Yang et al. identify that different Bacteroides ovatus strains induce either high or low baseline fecal IgA in mice. Cocktails of IgAhigh B. ovatus strains convert mice from low-IgA to high-IgA producers. This demonstrates a role of microbial strains in immune variation and a microbiota-based immune modulation strategy.
