Consistently, adoptive transfer of CD4+ T cells reconstituted the intestinal barrier in CD4-/- mice. More importantly, CD4+ but not CD8+ T cells nor B cells restored the intestinal barrier function in recombination activating gene 1-/- mice. Thus, CD4+ T cells are necessary and sufficient for maintaining the intestinal barrier function, indicating that the spread of an intracellular bacterium from the small intestine to the large intestine is regulated by an immunological barrier. This study has also laid a foundation
