Abstract The gut microbiome is the largest source of intrinsic non–self-antigens that are continuously sensed by the immune system but typically do not elicit lymphocyte responses. CD4+ T cells are critical to sustain uninterrupted tolerance to microbial antigens and to prevent intestinal inflammation. However, clinical interventions targeting commensal bacteria–specific CD4+ T cells are rare, because only a very limited number of commensal-derived epitopes have been identified.
