Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis involves an inadequately controlled immune reaction to intestinal microbiota, and CD4(+) T cells, dependent on MHC class II (MHC-II) processing and presentation by antigen-presenting cells (APC), play important roles. The role of professional APC (macrophages and dendritic cells [DCs]) and nonprofessional APC (intestinal epithelial cells [IECs]) in microbial-driven intestinal inflammation remains controversial.
