Microbiota-mediated skewing of tryptophan catabolism modulates CD4+ T cells in lupus-prone mice

Summary: A skewed tryptophan metabolism has been reported in patients with lupus. Here, we investigated the mechanisms by which it occurs in lupus-susceptible mice, and how tryptophan metabolites exacerbate T cell activation. Metabolomic analyses demonstrated that tryptophan is differentially catabo...
