Intestinal inflammation responds to microbial tissue load independent of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination [PDF]
, 2012 The intestinal immune system mounts inflammatory responses to pathogens but tolerates harmless commensal microbiota. Various mechanisms for pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination have been proposed but their general relevance for inflammation control is ...
