Abstract
The effect of genetics verses environment on immunity is incompletely understood. By releasing laboratory mice carrying IBD susceptibility genes into the outdoors, Lin et al. find that exposure to environmental microbes promotes variation in immune cell populations, whereas cytokine responses to microbial stimulation are affected more by genetic IBD susceptibility.
