Abstract

ILF preservation Isolated lymphoid follicles (ILFs) are areas of specialized lymphoid tissue found in the lining of the small intestine where they are involved in protecting the host from invading pathogens. A new study of the composition of ILFs and the factors required for their formation has found that they are induced in the mouse small intestine by the presence of peptidoglycan from Gram-negative bacteria via recognition by the NOD1 innate receptor in epithelia cells. ILFs range from clusters of a few B cells to well-organized lymphoid nodules. Once established, the ILFs exert control over the make-up of the bacterial community. This rare example of microbe-induced tissue genesis in mammals demonstrates how a constructive 'dialogue' between bacteria and host can contribute to efficient digestion and protection from intestinal pathogens.
