Journal ArticleDOI
Resident enteric bacteria are necessary for development of spontaneous colitis and immune system activation in interleukin-10-deficient mice.
Rance K. Sellon,Susan L. Tonkonogy,Michael Schultz,L. A. Dieleman,Wetonia B. Grenther,Ed Balish,Donna M. Rennick,Ryan Balfour Sartor +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that resident enteric bacteria are necessary for the development of spontaneous colitis and immune system activation in IL-10-deficient mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus plantarum 299V in the treatment and prevention of spontaneous colitis in interleukin-10-deficient mice.
Michael Schultz,Claudia Veltkamp,L. A. Dieleman,Wetonia B. Grenther,Pricilla B. Wyrick,Susan L. Tonkonogy,R. Balfour Sartor +6 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that L. plantarum can attenuate immune-mediated colitis and suggest a potential therapeutic role for this agent in clinical inflammatory bowel diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-2-deficient mice raised under germfree conditions develop delayed mild focal intestinal inflammation
Michael Schultz,Susan L. Tonkonogy,Range K. Sellon,Claudia Veltkamp,Virginia Godfrey,Julie Kwon,Wetonia B. Grenther,Edward Balish,Ivan Horak,Ryan Balfour Sartor +9 more
TL;DR: In contrast to other genetically engineered rodents, IL-2 -/- mice develop mild focal gastrointestinal and active portal tract inflammation in the absence of viable bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous stimulation by normal luminal bacteria is essential for the development and perpetuation of colitis in Tgϵ26 mice
Claudia Veltkamp,Susan L. Tonkonogy,Ype P. de Jong,Carol A. Albright,Wetonia B. Grenther,Edward Balish,Cox Terhorst,R. Balfour Sartor +7 more
TL;DR: Activated T cells are present in the mucosa of BM-->GF Tg(epsilon26) mice but are incapable of inducing disease unless colonic bacteria are present, and pathogenic T cells require the continuous presence of Colonic bacteria to sustain colitis.
