Embodiment 1
[0498] Example 1: Identification of a bacterial mixture that induces CD8+ T cells
[0499] figure 1 showed that CD8 T cells expressing IFN-γ were found in various organs. This population typically constitutes 15% of CD8 T cells in lymphoid and nonlymphoid organs and more than 50% in the intestinal lamina propria. This frequency was found to be significantly lower in the colon and small intestine of germ-free mice ( figure 2 ), suggesting that the microbiota plays a role in the accumulation of IFN-+CD8+ T cells in the intestine.
[0500] image 3showed that IFN+CD8+ between SPF C57BL / 6 mice purchased from Charles River Laboratories Inc. The frequency of T cells varies. When SPF C57BL / 6 mice from Charles River Laboratories were housed with CLEA mice in the same cage, an increase in IFN+CD8+ T cells was observed in mice delivered from Charles River Laboratories ( image 3 ). This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that specific microbial species exist in the mouse m...

[0504] Example 1A: Further characterization of a mixture of 11 strains
[0505] The strains in Table 1 were further characterized by resequencing the 16S sequence and by whole genome sequencing. Table 2 lists the results of further characterization.

Embodiment 2
[0508] Example 2: Further Characterization of Bacterial Mixtures Inducing CD8+ T Cells
[0509] Figure 15 Twenty-six strains isolated from cecal contents of B#5+AMP mice showing high frequency of IFNγ+CD8+ T cells are shown. Of these 26 strains, 11 strains ("11 mix") were positively correlated with the frequency of IFNγ+CD8+ T cells. Therefore, these 11 strains were selected for further experiments, and a mixture of the 11 strains ("11-mix") was inoculated into germ-free mice (see also Table 2). Colonization with the 11-mix resulted in a strong induction of colonic IFNγ+CD8+ T cells, whereas the other 10 strains (“10-mix”) weakly induced IFNγ+CD8+ T cells and GzmB compared to the induction level of the 11-mix +CD8+T cells ( Figure 22-24 ).
[0510] A phylogenetic comparison using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the 11-strain mixture (also referred to as "11-mixture") consisted of 7 strains belonging to the order Bacteroidetes ("7 strains") and 4 strains belonging t...
