DESCRIPTION:Siegfried Hapfelmeier\, University of Bern\nWe have recently d
 eveloped a novel concept of studying intestinal bacterial-host interaction
  – a reversible intestinal bacterial colonization system (Hapfelmeier et
  al. Science (2010) 328 pp. 1705-9). Germ free animals can be exposed to l
 ive commensal bacteria that do not multiply in the host\, which thus becom
 es germ-free again. The ensuing immune response can be studied in the agai
 n germ-free animal\, and thus be uncoupled from bacterial colonization. Th
 is allows to study immune dynamics\, immune memory and other responses to 
 intestinal bacteria in ways that were previously not possible.
