Mdr1 Saves T Cells from Bile

The gut contents shape intestinal immune homeostasis, a phenomenon best documented for microbiota-immune interactions. In this issue of Immunity, Cao et al. (2017) show that bile acids trigger T cell-mediated inflammation at their site of active absorption in the ileum, unless cells are protected by the membrane transporter Mdr1.
