A bacterial carbohydrate links innate and adaptive responses through Toll-like receptor 2

Commensalism is critical to a healthy Th1/Th2 cell balance. Polysaccharide A (PSA), which is produced by the intestinal commensal Bacteroides fragilis, activates CD4(+) T cells, resulting in a Th1 response correcting the Th2 cell skew of germ-free mice.
