Antibodies Set Boundaries Limiting Microbial Metabolite Penetration and the Resultant Mammalian Host Response
Bacteria-derived metabolites pervade the mammalian host, shaping immunity and metabolism. Using stable isotope tracing, Uchimura and colleagues profile the scope and depth of host tissue penetration by bacterial metabolites. Extensive host immune and metabolic responses to microbial metabolite penetration are constrained by secretory antibodies that limit microbial small-intestinal dwell time.
