Despite different cellular compositions in the intestine and colitis development in CbfbF/F: CD11c-Cre mice, the composition of the commensal gut microbiota assessed by feces of 5-mo-old CbfbF/F: CD11c-Cre mice were not significantly different from that in control mice (Fig S6), except for an increase in segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) (Fig 6B), a known inducer of Th17 differentiation (Ivanov et al, 2009). Here, ITGAX is linked to colitis.
