Abstract

Altered intestinal dendritic cell (DC) function underlies dysregulated T-cell responses to bacteria in Crohn's disease (CD) but it is unclear whether composition of the intestinal microbiota impacts local DC function. We assessed the relationship between DC function with disease activity and intestinal microbiota in patients with CD.
