Brief description Innate immune mechanisms provide essential signals that determine the outcome of immune responses. The identity of these innate mechanisms may provide opportunities for manipulating immune responses, or controlling inflammatory responses. This proposal centers around a new and little-studied receptor, GPR43, which binds products of bacterial metabolism. This molecular pathway may explain how diet affect immune responses.
