Bacteroides Induce Higher IgA Production Than Lactobacillus by Increasing Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase Expression in B Cells in Murine Peyer's Patches.

The article presents a study which compares the immunomodulatory effects of Bacteroides and Lactobacillus on Immunoglobulin A (IgA) production by Peyer's patches lymphocytes. It notes that the Bacteroides have stronger ability to induce Peyer's patches lymphocyte IgA production than Lactobacillus. Moreover, it also states that murine intestinal commensal bacteria stimulates mucosal IgA production.
