The major experimental and intellectual advance in gastroenterology in recent years has been the observation that mice with deletions in specific cytokine genes develop a spontaneous inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammatory bowel disease has also been seen in a number of other mouse strains with perturbed immune responses. The driving force for disease in a number of these models is the normal bacterial flora. These studies show that the gut immune system is in homeostasis with the antigens of the flora, but inappropriate T-helper 1 (Th1)-type responses to the flora cause severe gut injury and since the antigenic stimulus persists, the consequence is chronic inflammation.
