Abstract
Changes in gut microbial composition have been linked to inflammatory bowel disease, obesity and allergies in humans. A new study shows that pattern recognition of commensal bacteria by B cells reduces allergic inflammation in mice, adding to the mounting evidence for the 'hygiene hypothesis' (pages 538–546).
