Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic immune-mediated disease of unclear etiology, affecting people of different ages and significantly reducing the quality of life. Modern methods of therapy are mainly represented by anti-inflammatory drugs and are not aimed at a specific pathogenetic factor. In this study, we investigated the effect of transplantation of sterile stool filtrate from healthy donors on the induction of anti-inflammatory immune mechanisms. It was shown that performing such a procedure in patients with ulcerative colitis caused the appearance of T helper cells in the blood, which reacted to the content of sterile stool filtrates in an antigen-specific manner and produced IL-10. At the same time, cells of the same patients before therapy in response to the addition of sterile stool filtrates were less reactive and predominantly produced IL-4, indicating its pro-inflammatory skewing. The obtained data demonstrated the effect of an anti-inflammatory shift in the T-helper response after transplantation of sterile stool filtrate, which increased and persisted for at least three months after the procedure.

Abstract
Bacteriophages are promising antibacterial agents. Although they have been recognized as bacterial viruses and are considered to be non-interacting with eukaryotic cells, there is growing evidence that phages may have a significant impact on the immune system via interactions with macrophages, neutrophils, and T-cell polarization. In this study, the influence of phages of podovirus, siphovirus, and myovirus morphotypes on humoral immunity of CD-1 mice was investigated. In addition, tissue distribution of the phages was tested in these mice. No common patterns were found either in the distribution of phages in mice or in changes in the levels of cytokines in the sera of mice once injected with phages. Importantly, pre-existing IgM-class antibodies directed against capsid proteins of phages with myovirus and siphovirus morphotypes were identified in mice before immunization. After triple immunization of CD1-mice with phages without any adjuvant, levels of anti-phage serum polyclonal IgG antibodies increased. Immunogenic phage proteins recognized by IgM and/or IgG antibodies were identified using Western blot analysis and mass spectrometry. In addition, mice serum collected after immunization demonstrated neutralizing properties, leading to a substantial decrease in infectivity of investigated phages with myovirus and siphovirus morphotypes. Moreover, serum samples collected before administration of these phages exhibited some ability to reduce the phage infectivity. Furthermore, Proteus phage PM16 with podovirus morphotype did not elicit IgM or IgG antibodies in immunized mice, and no neutralizing activities against PM16 were revealed in mouse serum samples before and after immunization.
