The instruction of the immune system to be tolerant of self, thereby preventing autoimmunity, is facilitated by the education of T cells in a specialized organ, the thymus, where self-reactive cells are either eliminated or differentiated into tolerogenic Foxp3+ regulatory T(Treg) cells. However, it is unknown whether T cells are also educated to be tolerant of foreign antigens, such as those from commensal bacteria, in order to prevent immunopathology such as inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we show that encounter with commensal microbiota results in the peripheral generation of Treg cells, rather than pathogenic effectors. We observed that colonic Treg cells utilized T cell antigen receptors (TCRs)different from those used by Treg cells in other locations, implying an important role for local antigens in shaping the colonic Treg cell population. Many of the local antigens appeared to be derived from commensal bacteria based on the in vitro reactivity of common colon Treg TCRs. Interestingly, these TCRs did not facilitate thymic Treg cell development, implying that manycolonic Treg cells arise instead via antigen-driven peripheral Treg cell development. Further analysis of two of these TCRs by the creation of retroviral bone marrow chimeras and a TCR transgenic linerevealed that microbiota indigenous to our mouse colony was required for the generation of colonic Treg cells from otherwise naive T cells. If T cells expressing these TCRs fail to undergo Treg cell development and instead become effector cells, they have the potential to induce colitis, as evidenced by adoptive transfer studies. These results suggest that the efficient peripheral generation of antigen-specific populations of Treg cells in response to an individual’s microbiota provides important post-thymic education of the immune system to foreign antigens, thereby providing tolerance to commensal microbiota.
