Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to elucidate the following three aspects of granulomas formed in intestinal tissues and regional lymph nodes of patients with Crohn's disease:
1. To identify microbial-derived and host-derived antigens within granulomas and their surrounding tissues.
2. To investigate host response abnormalities in granulomas within and between patients.
3. To extract mechanistic features of host response abnormalities related to phagocytosis, antigen processing, and inflammatory regulation.
