The immune system in the intestine has to adapt to a constantly changing mucosal environment. A dynamic balance between regulatory and inflammatory immune cells determines the outcome between intestinal health and disease. In search for new parameters to classify patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), this thesis investigates the underlying immune mechanisms that establish and maintain this balance.
