Adequate function of the immune system and physiological microflora are closely correlated
Abstract
It is already known that physiological microflora of the digestive system plays an important role in local immunity. Studies on immunomodulating activity of some autoantibodies have shown that drugs affecting intestinal microflora possess potent immunosuppressive effect on systemic immunity. These observations inspired to recent investigation on the mechanisms of the influence of digestive tract bacteria on the immune system.
