Abstract

IgA is induced through T-cell-dependent and -independent pathways. In this issue, Bunker etal. (2015) now show that the T-cell-independent pathway is sufficient to coat most small intestinal microbes specifically, and Fransen etal. (2015) find that IgA coating promotes uptake of microbes into Peyer's patches and drives further induction in a positive-feedback loop.
