Fucose digestion by gut bacteria lowers T-cell immune response

Graphical flow diagram of how fucose digestion impacts immune response

High activity of fucose digestion by bacteria in the gut is associated with higher expression of two AP-1 transcription factors, FOS and ATF3 in blood immune cells, and with a lower T-cell response to the COVID-19 vaccine.
