| Research Abstract |
Healthy gut mucosa exhibit tolerogenic responses to intestinal microflora. Excessive immune-reactions against intestinal microflora lead to the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. Mutations in NOD2 are associated with the development of Crohn's disease. Elucidation of mechanisms by which NOD2 mutations cause Crohn's disease provides new insights in the pathogenesis of colitis. Here we show that NOD2 activation inhibits both NF-. B activation and type I IFN production mediated by TLRs.
