Background: Probiotics may alter immune regulation. Recently, we showed that the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM TM influenced the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in vitro. The aim of the present work was to demonstrate if L. acidophilus NCFM TM also affects the function of

β¦ Synopsis
Two years ago we published an article in this journal showing that treatment of 7-8-week-old SCID mice with neurotoxic doses of capsaicin protected the mice against T-cell transferinduced chronic colitis for a period of 6 weeks. 1 These data are in agreement with other studies showing that neurotoxic doses of capsaicin in neonatal rats and mice protect the adult animals against dextran sulfate-induced colitis and development of spontaneous autoimmune diabetes, respectively. 2,3 Subsequently, we tried to document the colitis-protective effect of capsaicin treatment in a variety of experimental setups.
In these new studies we confirm that although 7-8-week-old SCID mice

## Background: Toll-like receptor 5 (tlr5) is implicated in the innate and adaptive immune responses that are associated with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). in humans tlr5 is expressed on cd4(+) t cells and costimulation with flagellin potentiates effector and regulatory t cell responses. the ai
