abstract = {Microbiome-based therapies are promising new treatment
avenues. While global alterations in microbiota composition
have been shown in multiple sclerosis, whether and how gut
microbiota influence autoimmune responses in an
antigen-specific manner is unclear. Here, we genetically
engineered gut bacteria to express a brain antigen and
dissect their pathogenic potential in a murine model of
autoimmune neuroinflammation. Colonization with bacteria
expressing myelin - but not ovalbumin-peptide exacerbates an
encephalitogenic immune response in the gut by activating
antigen-specific T cells as well as B cells leading to
accelerated neuroinflammatory disease. These results
demonstrate how antigen-specific microbial modulation can
influence autoimmunity, providing insight for development of
therapeutic strategies targeting specific bacterial taxa for
treatment of MS and other autoimmune diseases.},
