Description

CONDITION USING PREVOTELLA
RELATED APPLICATIONS
[1] This application claims a right of priority to and the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/864,886, filed on June 21, 2019, and U.S.
Provisional Application No. 62/910,920, filed on October 4, 2019, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
BACKGROUND
[2] Helper T (TH) cells (also referred to as CD4+ T cells) coordinate adaptive immune responses through the secretion of cytokines that influence the activities of other immune cells, including B cells, other T cells, eosinophils, basophils, mast cells, and macrophages.
[3] When a naive TH cell becomes activated it differentiates into one of various TH
cell subsets, each of which is responsible for coordinating an aspect of the immune response through the secretion of a certain set of cytokines. For example, TH1 cells secrete IFN-y and are responsible for enhancing cell-mediated immune responses against viruses and intracellular bacteria. TH2 cells, on the other hand, secrete IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13, and IL-25 and are responsible, inter alia, for enhancing a humoral immune response against extracellular parasites, such as helminths. TH17 cells secrete IL-17 and mediate inflammatory responses, such as responses against fungi (among other pathogens).
[4] The TH subset into which a TH cell differentiates upon activation is determined, in part, by the presence of certain polarizing cytokines. For example, if a naive TH cell is activated in the presence of IFN-y, it will likely differentiate into a TH1 cell. On the other hand, if a naive TH cell is activated in the presence of IL-4, it will likely differentiate into a TH2 cell. Thus, secretion of IFN-y by activated TH1 cells can lead to other TH cells to polarize to the TH1 subset, whereas secretion of IL-4 by activated TH2 cells can lead to other TH cells to polarize to the TH2 subset. Because of this cascading effect, TH cell differentiation can have widespread effects to a person's global immune response. Indeed, a number of diseases and disorders have been associated with TH2 immune responses, including (but not limited to) allergies (e.g., food allergies, insect-induced allergies, drug allergies, or allergic rhinitis), asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
[5] Thus, there is a need for new compositions and methods for promoting a immune response and/or inhibiting a TH2 immune response in order to treat such TH2-mediated conditions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[70] As disclosed herein, pharmaceutical compositions including bacteria of the genus Prevotella have therapeutic effects and are useful for the treatment or prevention (i.e., for treatment, for prevention, or for both treatment and prevention) of one or more TH2-mediated conditions. Such TH2-mediated conditions include, but are not limited to, allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, allergy (e.g. food allergy, insect-induced allergy, or drug allergy), anaphylaxis, and eosinophilia. The pharmaceutical compositions can include Prevotella histicola bacteria.
Definitions
[71] "Adjuvant" or "Adjuvant therapy" broadly refers to an agent that affects an immunological or physiological response in a subject (e.g., human). For example, an adjuvant might increase the presence of an antigen over time or to an area of interest, help absorb an antigen presenting cell antigen, activate macrophages and lymphocytes and support the production of cytokines. By changing an immune response, an adjuvant might permit a smaller dose of an immune interacting agent to increase the effectiveness or safety of a particular dose of the immune interacting agent. For example, an adjuvant might prevent T cell exhaustion and thus increase the effectiveness or safety of a particular immune interacting agent.
[72] "Administration" broadly refers to a route of administration of a composition (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition) to a subject. Examples of routes of administration include oral administration, rectal administration, topical administration, inhalation (nasal) or injection.
Administration by injection includes intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC) administration. A pharmaceutical composition described herein can be administered in any form by any effective route, including but not limited to oral, parenteral, enteral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, topical, transdermal (e.g., using any standard patch), intradermal, ophthalmic, (intra)nasally, local, non-oral, such as aerosol, inhalation, subcutaneous, intramuscular, buccal, sublingual, (trans)rectal, vaginal, intra-arterial, and intrathecal, transmucosal (e.g., sublingual, lingual, (trans)buccal, (trans)urethral, vaginal (e.g., trans- and perivaginally), implanted, intravesical, intrapulmonary, intraduodenal, intragastrical, and intrabronchial. In preferred embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is administered orally, rectally, topically, intravesically, by injection into or adjacent to a draining lymph node, intravenously, by inhalation or aerosol, or subcutaneously. In another preferred embodiment, a pharmaceutical composition described herein is administered orally or intravenously.
[73] As used herein, the term "antibody" may refer to both an intact antibody and an antigen binding fragment thereof. Intact antibodies are glycoproteins that include at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds.
Each heavy chain includes a heavy chain variable region (abbreviated herein as Vii) and a heavy chain constant region. Each light chain includes a light chain variable region (abbreviated herein as VL) and a light chain constant region. The Vu and VL regions can be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed framework regions (FR). Each Vu and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order:
FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. The variable regions of the heavy and light chains contain a binding domain that interacts with an antigen. The term "antibody"
includes, for example, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, human antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies), single-chain antibodies and antigen-binding antibody fragments.
[74] The terms "antigen binding fragment" and "antigen-binding portion" of an antibody, as used herein, refer to one or more fragments of an antibody that retain the ability to bind to an antigen. Examples of binding fragments encompassed within the term "antigen-binding fragment" of an antibody include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, scFv, disulfide linked Fv, Fd, diabodies, single-chain antibodies, NANOBODIES , isolated CDRH3, and other antibody fragments that retain at least a portion of the variable region of an intact antibody. These antibody fragments can be obtained using conventional recombinant and/or enzymatic techniques and can be screened for antigen binding in the same manner as intact antibodies.
[75] A "carbohydrate" refers to a sugar or polymer of sugars. The terms "saccharide,"
polysaccharide," "carbohydrate," and "oligosaccharide" may be used interchangeably. Most carbohydrates are aldehydes or ketones with many hydroxyl groups, usually one on each carbon atom of the molecule. Carbohydrates generally have the molecular formula CnH2nOn. A
carbohydrate may be a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, trisaccharide, oligosaccharide, or polysaccharide. The most basic carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, such as glucose, sucrose, galactose, mannose, ribose, arabinose, xylose, and fructose. Disaccharides are two joined monosaccharides. Exemplary disaccharides include sucrose, maltose, cellobiose, and lactose.
Typically, an oligosaccharide includes between three and six monosaccharide units (e.g., raffinose, stachyose), and polysaccharides include six or more monosaccharide units. Exemplary polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Carbohydrates may contain modified saccharide units such as 2'-deoxyribose wherein a hydroxyl group is removed, 2'-fluororibose wherein a hydroxyl group is replaced with a fluorine, or N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose (e.g., 2'-fluororibose, deoxyribose, and hexose).
Carbohydrates may exist in many different forms, for example, conformers, cyclic forms, acyclic forms, stereoisomers, tautomers, anomers, and isomers.
[76] "Cellular augmentation" broadly refers to the influx of cells or expansion of cells in an environment that are not substantially present in the environment prior to administration of a composition (e.g., pharmaceutical composition) and not present in the composition itself. Cells that augment the environment include immune cells, stromal cells, bacterial and fungal cells.
[77] "Clade" refers to the OTUs or members of a phylogenetic tree that are downstream of a statistically valid node in a phylogenetic tree. The clade comprises a set of terminal leaves in the phylogenetic tree that is a distinct monophyletic evolutionary unit and that share some extent of sequence similarity.
[78] A "combination" of microbes (e.g., bacteria) from two or more microbial strains includes the physical co-existence of the microbes are obtained, either in the same material or product or in physically connected products, as well as the temporal co-administration or co-localization of the two or more strains. In some embodiments, one of the strains is from Prevotella bacteria, e.g., Prevotella histicola bacteria.
[79] The term "decrease" or "deplete" means a change, such that the difference is, depending on circumstances, at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 1/100, 1/1000, 1/10,000, 1/100,000, 1/1,000,000 or undetectable after treatment when compared to a pre-treatment state. Properties that may be decreased include the number of immune cells, bacterial cells, stromal cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, fibroblasts, metabolites; the level of a cytokine; or another physical parameter (such as ear thickness (e.g., in a DTH animal model) or tumor size (e.g., in an animal tumor model)).
[80] The term "ecological consortium" is a group of bacteria which trades metabolites and positively co-regulates one another, in contrast to two bacteria which induce host synergy through activating complementary host pathways for improved efficacy.
[81] As used herein, "engineered bacteria" are any bacteria that have been genetically altered from their natural state by human activities, and the progeny of any such bacteria.
Engineered bacteria include, for example, the products of targeted genetic modification, the products of random mutagenesis screens and the products of directed evolution.
[82] The term "epitope" means a protein determinant capable of specific binding to an antibody or T cell receptor. Epitopes usually consist of chemically active surface groupings of molecules such as amino acids or sugar side chains. Certain epitopes can be defined by a particular sequence of amino acids to which an antibody is capable of binding.
[83] The term "gene" is used broadly to refer to any nucleic acid associated with a biological function. The term "gene" applies to a specific genomic sequence, as well as to a cDNA or an mRNA encoded by that genomic sequence.
[84] "Identity" as between nucleic acid sequences of two nucleic acid molecules can be determined as a percentage of identity using known computer algorithms such as the "FAS TA" program, using for example, the default parameters as in Pearson et al. (1988) Proc.

Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (other programs include the GCG program package (Devereux, J., et al., Nucleic Acids Research 12(I):387 (1984)), BLASTP, BLASTN, FASTA
Atschul, S. F., et al., J Molec Biol 215:403 (1990); Guide to Huge Computers, Mrtin J. Bishop, ed., Academic Press, San Diego, 1994, and Carillo et al. (1988) SIAM J Applied Math 48:1073). For example, the BLAST function of the National Center for Biotechnology Information database can be used to determine identity. Other commercially or publicly available programs include, DNAStar "MegAlign" program (Madison, Wis.) and the University of Wisconsin Genetics Computer Group (UWG) "Gap" program (Madison Wis.)).
[85] "Immunotherapy" is treatment that uses a subject's immune system to treat disease (e.g., immune disease, inflammatory disease, metabolic disease, cancer) and includes, for example, checkpoint inhibitors, cancer vaccines, cytokines, cell therapy, CAR-T cells, and dendritic cell therapy.
[86] The term "increase" means a change, such that the difference is, depending on circumstances, at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 2-fold, 4-fold, 10-fold, 100-fold, 101\3 fold, 10A4 fold, 10A5 fold, 101\6 fold, and/or 101\7 fold greater after treatment when compared to a pre-treatment state. Properties that may be increased include the number of immune cells, bacterial cells, stromal cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, fibroblasts, metabolites; the level of a cytokine; or another physical parameter (such as ear thickness (e.g., in a DTH animal model) or tumor size (e.g., in an animal tumor model).
[87] "Innate immune agonists" or "immuno-adjuvants" are small molecules, proteins, or other agents that specifically target innate immune receptors including Toll-Like Receptors (TLR), NOD receptors, RLRs, C-type lectin receptors, STING-cGAS Pathway components, inflammasome complexes. For example, LPS is a TLR-4 agonist that is bacterially derived or synthesized and aluminum can be used as an immune stimulating adjuvant. immuno-adjuvants are a specific class of broader adjuvant or adjuvant therapy. Examples of STING agonists include, but are not limited to, 2'3'- cGAMP, 3'3'-cGAMP, c-di-AMP, c-di-GMP, 2'2'-cGAMP, and 2'3'-cGAM(PS)2 (Rp/Sp) (Rp, Sp-isomers of the bis-phosphorothioate analog of 2'3'-cGAMP). Examples of TLR agonists include, but are not limited to, TLR1, TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, TLR6, TLR7, TLR8, TLR9, TLR10 and TLRI 1. Examples of NOD agonists include, but are not limited to, N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (muramyldipeptide (MDP)), gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-diaminopimelic acid (iE-DAP), and desmuramylpeptides (DMP).
[88] The "internal transcribed spacer" or "ITS" is a piece of non-functional RNA
located between structural ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) on a common precursor transcript often used for identification of eukaryotic species in particular fungi. The rRNA of fungi that forms the core of the ribosome is transcribed as a signal gene and consists of the 8S, 5.8S
and 28S regions with ITS4 and 5 between the 8S and 5.8S and 5.8S and 28S regions, respectively.
These two intercistronic segments between the 18S and 5.8S and 5.8S and 28S regions are removed by splicing and contain significant variation between species for barcoding purposes as previously described (Schoch et al Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region as a universal DNA barcode marker for Fungi. PNAS 109:6241-6246. 2012). 18S rDNA is traditionally used for phylogenetic reconstruction however the ITS can serve this function as it is generally highly conserved but contains hypervariable regions that harbor sufficient nucleotide diversity to differentiate genera and species of most fungus.
[89] The term "isolated" or "enriched" encompasses a microbe or other entity or substance that has been (1) separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated when initially produced (whether in nature or in an experimental setting), and/or (2) produced, prepared, purified, and/or manufactured by the hand of man. Isolated microbes may be separated from at least about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or more of the other components with which they were initially associated. In some embodiments, isolated microbes are more than about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure, e.g., substantially free of other components. The terms "purify," "purifying" and "purified" refer to a microbe or other material that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated either when initially produced or generated (e.g., whether in nature or in an experimental setting), or during any time after its initial production. A microbe or a microbial population may be considered purified if it is isolated at or after production, such as from a material or environment containing the microbe or microbial population, and a purified microbe or microbial population may contain other materials up to about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or above about 90% and still be considered "isolated." In some embodiments, purified microbes or microbial population are more than about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about
90 PCT/US2020/038335 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure. In the instance of microbial compositions provided herein, the one or more microbial types present in the composition can be independently purified from one or more other microbes produced and/or present in the material or environment containing the microbial type.
Microbial compositions and the microbial components thereof are generally purified from residual habitat products.
[90] As used herein a "lipid" includes fats, oils, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids, fatty acids in any form including free fatty acids. Fats, oils and fatty acids can be saturated, unsaturated (cis or trans) or partially unsaturated (cis or trans).
[91] The term "LPS mutant or lipopolysaccharide mutant" broadly refers to selected bacteria that comprises loss of LPS. Loss of LPS might be due to mutations or disruption to genes involved in lipid A biosynthesis, such as 1pxA, 1pxC , and 1pxD.
Bacteria comprising LPS
mutants can be resistant to aminoglycosides and polymyxins (polymyxin B and colistin).
[92] "Metabolite" as used herein refers to any and all molecular compounds, compositions, molecules, ions, co-factors, catalysts or nutrients used as substrates in any cellular or microbial metabolic reaction or resulting as product compounds, compositions, molecules, ions, co-factors, catalysts or nutrients from any cellular or microbial metabolic reaction.
[93] "Microbe" refers to any natural or engineered organism characterized as an archaeaon, parasite, bacterium, fungus, microscopic alga, protozoan, and the stages of development or life cycle stages (e.g., vegetative, spore (including sporulation, dormancy, and germination), latent, biofilm) associated with the organism. In some embodiments, the microbes are bacteria. Examples of gut microbes include: Actinomyces graevenitzii, Actinomyces odontolyticus, Akkermansia mucimphila, Bacteroides caccae, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides putredinis, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, Bacteroides vultagus, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bilophila wadsworthia, Blautia, Butyrivibrio, Campylobacter gracilis, Clostridia cluster III, Clostridia cluster IV, Clostridia cluster IX

[94] "Microbiome" broadly refers to the microbes residing on or in body site of a subject or patient. Microbes in a microbiome may include bacteria, viruses, eukaryotic microorganisms, and/or viruses. Individual microbes in a microbiome may be metabolically active, dormant, latent, or exist as spores, may exist planktonically or in biofilms, or may be present in the microbiome in sustainable or transient manner. The microbiome may be a commensal or healthy-state microbiome or a disease-state microbiome. The microbiome may be native to the subject or patient, or components of the microbiome may be modulated, introduced, or depleted due to changes in health state or treatment conditions (e.g., antibiotic treatment, exposure to different microbes). In some aspects, the microbiome occurs at a mucosal surface. In some aspects, the microbiome is a gut microbiome.
[95] A "microbiome profile" or a "microbiome signature" of a tissue or sample refers to an at least partial characterization of the bacterial makeup of a microbiome. In some embodiments, a microbiome profile indicates whether at least 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 or more bacterial strains are present or absent in a microbiome.
[96] "Modified" in reference to a bacteria broadly refers to a bacteria that has undergone a change from its wild-type form. Bacterial modification can result from engineering bacteria. Examples of bacterial modifications include genetic modification, gene expression modification, phenotype modification, formulation modification, chemical modification, and dose or concentration. Examples of improved properties are described throughout this specification and include, e.g., attenuation, auxotrophy, homing, or antigenicity. Phenotype modification might include, by way of example, bacteria growth in media that modify the phenotype of a bacterium such that it increases or decreases virulence.
[97] "Operational taxonomic units" and "OTU(s)" refer to a terminal leaf in a phylogenetic tree and is defined by a nucleic acid sequence, e.g., the entire genome, or a specific genetic sequence, and all sequences that share sequence identity to this nucleic acid sequence at the level of species. In some embodiments the specific genetic sequence may be the 16S
sequence or a portion of the 16S sequence. In other embodiments, the entire genomes of two entities are sequenced and compared. In another embodiment, select regions such as multilocus sequence tags (MLST), specific genes, or sets of genes may be genetically compared. For 16S, OTUs that share? 97% average nucleotide identity across the entire 16S or some variable region of the 16S are considered the same OTU. See e.g., Claesson MJ, Wang Q, O'Sullivan 0, Greene-Diniz R, Cole JR, Ross RP, and O'Toole PW. 2010. Comparison of two next-generation sequencing technologies for resolving highly complex microbiota composition using tandem variable 16S rRNA gene regions. Nucleic Acids Res 38: e200. Konstantinidis KT, Ramette A, and Tiedje JIM. 2006. The bacterial species definition in the genomic era.
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 361: 1929-1940. For complete genomes, MLSTs, specific genes, other than 16S, or sets of genes OTUs that share? 95% average nucleotide identity are considered the same OTU. See e.g., Achtman M, and Wagner M. 2008. Microbial diversity and the genetic nature of microbial species. Nat. Rev. Microbiol. 6: 431-440. Konstantinidis KT, Ramette A, and Tiedje JIM. 2006. The bacterial species definition in the genomic era. Philos Trans R
Soc Lond B Biol Sci 361: 1929-1940. OTUs are frequently defined by comparing sequences between organisms.
Generally, sequences with less than 95% sequence identity are not considered to form part of the same OTU. OTUs may also be characterized by any combination of nucleotide markers or genes, in particular highly conserved genes (e.g., "house-keeping" genes), or a combination thereof.
Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) with taxonomic assignments made to, e.g., genus, species, and phylogenetic clade are provided herein.
[98] As used herein, a gene is "overexpressed" in a bacteria if it is expressed at a higher level in an engineered bacteria under at least some conditions than it is expressed by a wild-type bacteria of the same species under the same conditions. Similarly, a gene is "underexpressed" in a bacteria if it is expressed at a lower level in an engineered bacteria under at least some conditions than it is expressed by a wild-type bacteria of the same species under the same conditions.
[99] The terms "polynucleotide," and "nucleic acid" are used interchangeably. They refer to a polymeric form of nucleotides of any length, either deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides, or analogs thereof. Polynucleotides may have any three-dimensional structure, and may perform any function. The following are non-limiting examples of polynucleotides:
coding or non-coding regions of a gene or gene fragment, loci (locus) defined from linkage analysis, exons, introns, messenger RNA (mRNA), micro RNA (miRNA), silencing RNA
(siRNA), transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, ribozymes, cDNA, recombinant polynucleotides, branched polynucleotides, plasmids, vectors, isolated DNA of any sequence, isolated RNA of any sequence, nucleic acid probes, and primers. A polynucleotide may comprise modified nucleotides, such as methylated nucleotides and nucleotide analogs. If present, modifications to the nucleotide structure may be imparted before or after assembly of the polymer. A
polynucleotide may be further modified, such as by conjugation with a labeling component. In all nucleic acid sequences provided herein, U nucleotides are interchangeable with T nucleotides.
[100] As used herein, a "biomarker" includes molecules (e.g., mRNA or protein) that have an increase or a decrease in their levels due to a TH2-mediated pathway.
For instance, the levels of one or more such biomarkers may increase in TH2-meidated conditions as compared to their levels in a healthy subject. Some examples of such protein biomarkers include interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-13, interleukin-19, interleukin-21, interleukin-31, interleukin-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, immunoglobulin G1 , immunoglobulin E, immunoglobulin A, and combinations thereof. Some examples of such mRNA
biomarkers include interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-13, interleukin-19, interleukin-21, interleukin-31, interleukin-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and combinations thereof.
[101] As used herein, a substance is "pure" if it is substantially free of other components. The terms "purify," "purifying" and "purified" refer to Prevotella bacteria preparation or other material that has been separated from at least some of the components with which it was associated either when initially produced or generated (e.g., whether in nature or in an experimental setting), or during any time after its initial production. A
Prevotella bacteria preparation or composition may be considered purified if it is isolated at or after production, such as from one or more other bacterial components, and a purified microbe or microbial population may contain other materials up to about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, or above about 90% and still be considered "purified." In some embodiments, purified Prevotella bacteria are more than about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 91%, about 92%, about 93%, about 94%, about 95%, about 96%, about 97%, about 98%, about 99%, or more than about 99% pure. Prevotella bacteria compositions or preparations are, e.g., purified from residual habitat products.
[102] As used herein, the term "purified Prevotella bacteria" or "Prevotella bacteria composition" refers to a preparation that includes Prevotella bacteria that have been separated from at least one associated substance found in a source material (e.g., separated from at least one other bacterial strain) or any material associated with the Prevotella bacteria in any process used to produce the preparation. It also refers to a composition that has been significantly enriched or concentrated. In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria are concentrated by 2 fold, 3-fold, 4-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 100-fold, 1000-fold, 10,000-fold or more than 10,000 fold.
In certain embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria composition can be a pharmaceutical composition.
[103] "Residual habitat products" refers to material derived from the habitat for microbiota within or on a subject. For example, fermentation cultures of microbes can contain contaminants, e.g., other microbe strains or forms (e.g., bacteria, virus, mycoplasm, and/or fungus). For example, microbes live in feces in the gastrointestinal tract, on the skin itself, in saliva, mucus of the respiratory tract, or secretions of the genitourinary tract (i.e., biological matter associated with the microbial community). Substantially free of residual habitat products means that the microbial composition no longer contains the biological matter associated with the microbial environment on or in the culture or human or animal subject and is 100% free, 99%
free, 98% free, 97% free, 96% free, or 95% free of any contaminating biological matter associated with the microbial community. Residual habitat products can include abiotic materials (including undigested food) or it can include unwanted microorganisms.
Substantially free of residual habitat products may also mean that the microbial composition contains no detectable cells from a culture contaminant or a human or animal and that only microbial cells are detectable. In one embodiment, substantially free of residual habitat products may also mean that the microbial composition contains no detectable viral (including bacteria, viruses (e.g., phage)), fungal, mycoplasmal contaminants. In another embodiment, it means that fewer than 1x102%, 1x10-3%, 1x10-4%, 1x10-5%, 1x10-6%, 1x10-7%, 1x10-8% of the viable cells in the microbial composition are human or animal, as compared to microbial cells. There are multiple ways to accomplish this degree of purity, none of which are limiting. Thus, contamination may be reduced by isolating desired constituents through multiple steps of streaking to single colonies on solid media until replicate (such as, but not limited to, two) streaks from serial single colonies have shown only a single colony morphology. Alternatively, reduction of contamination can be accomplished by multiple rounds of serial dilutions to single desired cells (e.g., a dilution of 10-8 or 10-9), such as through multiple 10-fold serial dilutions. This can further be confirmed by showing that multiple isolated colonies have similar cell shapes and Gram staining behavior.
Other methods for confirming adequate purity include genetic analysis (e.g., PCR, DNA
sequencing), serology and antigen analysis, enzymatic and metabolic analysis, and methods using instrumentation such as flow cytometry with reagents that distinguish desired constituents from contaminants.
[104] As used herein, "specific binding" refers to the ability of an antibody to bind to a predetermined antigen or the ability of a polypeptide to bind to its predetermined binding partner. Typically, an antibody or polypeptide specifically binds to its predetermined antigen or binding partner with an affinity corresponding to a KD of about 10 M or less, and binds to the predetermined antigen/binding partner with an affinity (as expressed by KD) that is at least 10 fold less, at least 100 fold less or at least 1000 fold less than its affinity for binding to a non-specific and unrelated antigen/binding partner (e.g., BSA, casein).
Alternatively, specific binding applies more broadly to a two component system where one component is a protein, lipid, or carbohydrate or combination thereof and engages with the second component which is a protein, lipid, carbohydrate or combination thereof in a specific way.
[105] "Strain" refers to a member of a bacterial species with a genetic signature such that it may be differentiated from closely-related members of the same bacterial species. The genetic signature may be the absence of all or part of at least one gene, the absence of all or part of at least on regulatory region (e.g., a promoter, a terminator, a riboswitch, a ribosome binding site), the absence ("curing") of at least one native plasmid, the presence of at least one recombinant gene, the presence of at least one mutated gene, the presence of at least one foreign gene (a gene derived from another species), the presence at least one mutated regulatory region (e.g., a promoter, a terminator, a riboswitch, a ribosome binding site), the presence of at least one non-native plasmid, the presence of at least one antibiotic resistance cassette, or a combination thereof. Genetic signatures between different strains may be identified by PCR
amplification optionally followed by DNA sequencing of the genomic region(s) of interest or of the whole genome. In the case in which one strain (compared with another of the same species) has gained or lost antibiotic resistance or gained or lost a biosynthetic capability (such as an auxotrophic strain), strains may be differentiated by selection or counter-selection using an antibiotic or nutrient/metabolite, respectively.
[106] The terms "subject" or "patient" refers to any mammal. A subject or a patient described as "in need thereof- refers to one in need of a treatment (or prevention) for a disease.
Mammals (i.e., mammalian animals) include humans, laboratory animals (e.g., primates, rats, mice), livestock (e.g., cows, sheep, goats, pigs), and household pets (e.g., dogs, cats, rodents).

The subject may be a human. The subject may be a non-human mammal including but not limited to of a dog, a cat, a cow, a horse, a pig, a donkey, a goat, a camel, a mouse, a rat, a guinea pig, a sheep, a llama, a monkey, a gorilla or a chimpanzee. The subject may be healthy, or may be suffering from a condition at any developmental stage, wherein any of the stages are either caused by or opportunistically supported of a condition-associated or causative pathogen, or may be at risk of developing a condition, or transmitting to others a condition-associated or condition-causative pathogen. In some embodiments, a subject has a TH2-mediated condition. In some embodiments, a subject has atopic dermatitis. In some embodiments, a subject has asthma. In some embodiments, a subject has a food allergy. In some embodiments, the subject has undergone a therapy for their condition.
[107] As used herein, the term "treating" a disease in a subject or "treating" a subject having or suspected of having a condition refers to subjecting the subject to a pharmaceutical treatment (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition), e.g., the administration of one or more agents (e.g., pharmaceutical compositions), such that at least one symptom of the condition is decreased or prevented from worsening. Thus, in one embodiment, "treating" refers inter alia to delaying progression, expediting remission, inducing remission, augmenting remission, speeding recovery, increasing efficacy of or decreasing resistance to alternative therapeutics, or a combination thereof.

[115] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria are from a strain of Prevotella bacteria comprising one or more of the proteins listed in Table 1 and that is free or substantially free of one or more proteins listed in Table 2. In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria are from a strain of Prevotella bacteria that comprises all of the proteins listed in Table 1 and/or all of the genes encoding the proteins listed in Table 1 and that is free of all of the proteins listed in Table 2 and/or all of the genes encoding the proteins listed in Table 2.
Pharmaceutical Compositions
[116] In certain embodiments, provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a Prevotella bacteria described herein), e.g., for use in methods of treating or preventing a TH2-mediated condition (such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and/or an allergy). In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria composition comprises Prevotella bacteria and/or a combination of bacteria strains described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria composition comprises a single Prevotella bacteria strain described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
[117] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise Prevotella bacteria and one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more) of bacteria strains or species, e.g., in addition to Prevotella. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions comprise Prevotella bacteria. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises lyophilized Prevotella bacteria. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises gamma irradiated Prevotella bacteria. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises live Prevotella bacteria.
[118] In some embodiments, to quantify the numbers of Prevotella bacteria present in a bacterial sample, electron microscopy (e.g., EM of ultrathin frozen sections) can be used to visualize the bacteria and count their relative numbers. Alternatively, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), Coulter counting, or dynamic light scattering (DLS) or a combination of these techniques can be used. NTA and the Coulter counter count particles and show their sizes. DLS
gives the size distribution of particles, but not the concentration. Bacteria frequently have diameters of 1-2 um (microns). The full range is 0.2-20 um. Combined results from Coulter counting and NTA can reveal the numbers of bacteria in a given sample. Coulter counting reveals the numbers of particles with diameters of 0.7-10 um. For most bacterial samples, the Coulter counter alone can reveal the number of bacteria. For NTA, a Nanosight instrument can be obtained from Malvern Panalytical. For example, the NS300 can visualize and measure particles in suspension in the size range 10-2000nm. NTA allows for counting of the numbers of particles that are, for example, 50-1000 nm in diameter. DLS reveals the distribution of particles of different diameters within an approximate range of 1 nm ¨ 3 um.
[119] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria may be quantified based on particle count. For example, total particle content of a Prevotella bacteria can be measured using NTA.
[120] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria may be quantified based on total cell count (TCC) (e.g., determined by Coulter counter).
[121] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria may be quantified using a plate count assay (e.g., by creating serial dilutions of the bacteria, allowing them to grow on a suitable medium, and then counting the number of colonies).
[122] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria may be quantified based on the amount of protein, lipid, or carbohydrate. For example, total protein content of a Prevotella bacteria preparation can be measured using the Bradford assay or the BCA
assay.
[123] In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria are isolated away from one or more other bacterial components, e.g., of the source culture. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises other bacterial components or strains.
[124] In certain aspects, provided are pharmaceutical compositions for administration to a subject (e.g., human subject).

"Antibiotics"
broadly refers to compounds capable of inhibiting or preventing a bacterial infection. Antibiotics can be classified in a number of ways, including their use for specific infections, their mechanism of action, their bioavailability, or their spectrum of target microbe (e.g., Gram-negative vs. Gram-positive bacteria, aerobic vs. anaerobic bacteria, etc.) and these may be used to kill specific bacteria in specific areas of the host ("niches") (Leekha, et al 2011. General Principles of Antimicrobial Therapy. Mayo Clin Proc. 86(2): 156-167). In certain embodiments, antibiotics can be used to selectively target bacteria of a specific niche. In some embodiments, antibiotics are administered after the bacterial treatment. In some embodiments, antibiotics are administered after the bacterial treatment to remove the engraftment.
[182] In some aspects, antibiotics can be selected based on their bactericidal or bacteriostatic properties. Bactericidal antibiotics include mechanisms of action that disrupt the cell wall (e.g., 0-lactams), the cell membrane (e.g., daptomycin), or bacterial DNA (e.g., fluoroquinolones). Bacteriostatic agents inhibit bacterial replication and include sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and macrolides, and act by inhibiting protein synthesis.
Furthermore, while some drugs can be bactericidal in certain organisms and bacteriostatic in others, knowing the target organism allows one skilled in the art to select an antibiotic with the appropriate properties. In certain treatment conditions, bacteriostatic antibiotics inhibit the activity of bactericidal antibiotics. Thus, in certain embodiments, bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics are not combined.

Administration
[218] In certain aspects, provided herein is a method of delivering a Prevotella bacteria-containing pharmaceutical composition described herein to a subject. In some embodiments of the methods provided herein, the composition is administered in conjunction with the administration of an additional therapeutic (e.g., such as an anti-inflammatory agent). In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria are co-formulated in a pharmaceutical composition with the additional therapeutic. In some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) are co-administered with the additional therapeutic. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic is administered to the subject before administration of the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) (e.g., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 or 55 minutes before, about 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21,22 or 23 hours before, or about 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 days before). In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic is administered to the subject after administration of the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) (e.g., about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 or 55 minutes after, about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 or 23 hours after, or about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 days after). In some embodiments, the same mode of delivery is used to deliver both the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) and the additional therapeutic. In some embodiments, different modes of delivery are used to administer the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) and the additional therapeutic. For example, in some embodiments, the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) are administered orally while the additional therapeutic is administered via injection (e.g., an intravenous and/or intramuscular injection).
[219] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms described herein can be administered in conjunction with any other conventional treatment.
These treatments may be applied as necessary and/or as indicated and may occur before, concurrent with or after administration of the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms described herein.
[220] The dosage regimen can be any of a variety of methods and amounts, and can be determined by one skilled in the art according to known clinical factors. As is known in the medical arts, dosages for any one patient can depend on many factors, including the subject's species, size, body surface area, age, sex, immunocompetence, and general health, the particular microorganism to be administered, duration and route of administration, the kind and stage of the disease, and other compounds such as drugs being administered concurrently. In addition to the above factors, such levels can be affected by the infectivity of the microorganism, and the nature of the microorganism, as can be determined by one skilled in the art. The dose of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be appropriately set or adjusted in accordance with the dosage form, the route of administration, the degree or stage of a condition, and the like. For example, the general effective dose of the agents may range between 0.01 mg/kg body weight/day and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day, between 0.1 mg/kg body weight/day and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day, 0.5 mg/kg body weight/day and 500 mg/kg body weight/day, 1 mg/kg body weight/day and 100 mg/kg body weight/day, or between 5 mg/kg body weight/day and 50 mg/kg body weight/day. The effective dose may be 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 500, or 1000 mg/kg body weight/day or more, but the dose is not limited thereto.
[221] In some embodiments, the dose administered to a subject is sufficient to prevent the condition, delay its onset, or slow or stop its progression or prevent a relapse of the condition.
One skilled in the art will recognize that dosage will depend upon a variety of factors including the strength of the particular compound employed, as well as the age, species, condition, and body weight of the subject. The size of the dose will also be determined by the route, timing, and frequency of administration as well as the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side-effects that might accompany the administration of a particular compound and the desired physiological effect.
[222] Suitable doses and dosage regimens can be determined by conventional range-finding techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages, which are less than the optimum dose of the compound.
Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. An effective dosage and treatment protocol can be determined by routine and conventional means, starting e.g., with a low dose in laboratory animals and then increasing the dosage while monitoring the effects, and systematically varying the dosage regimen as well.
Animal studies are commonly used to determine the maximal tolerable dose ("MTD") of bioactive agent per kilogram weight. Those skilled in the art regularly extrapolate doses for efficacy, while avoiding toxicity, in other species, including humans.
[223] In accordance with the above, in therapeutic applications, the dosages of the active agents used in accordance with the invention vary depending on the active agent, the age, weight, and clinical condition of the recipient patient, and the experience and judgment of the clinician or practitioner administering the therapy, among other factors affecting the selected dosage. Generally, the dose should be sufficient to result in slowing progression, and preferably causing regression, of the condition.
[224] Separate administrations can include any number of two or more administrations (e.g., doses), including two, three, four, five or six administrations. One skilled in the art can readily determine the number of administrations to perform, or the desirability of performing one or more additional administrations, according to methods known in the art for monitoring therapeutic methods and other monitoring methods provided herein. In some embodiments, the doses may be separated by at least 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 days or 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks.
Accordingly, the methods provided herein include methods of providing to the subject one or more administrations of a bacterium, where the number of administrations can be determined by monitoring the subject, and, based on the results of the monitoring, determining whether or not to provide one or more additional administrations. Deciding on whether or not to provide one or more additional administrations can be based on a variety of monitoring results, including, but not limited to, subject's anti-bacterium antibody titer, the overall health of the subject and/or the weight of the subject.
[225] The time period between administrations can be any of a variety of time periods.
The time period between administrations can be a function of any of a variety of factors, including monitoring steps, as described in relation to the number of administrations, the time period for a subject to mount an immune response and/or the time period for a subject to clear the bacteria from normal tissue or from the gut. In one example, the time period can be a function of the time period for a subject to mount an immune response; for example, the time period can be more than the time period for a subject to mount an immune response, such as more than about one week, more than about ten days, more than about two weeks, or more than about a month; in another example, the time period can be less than the time period for a subject to mount an immune response, such as less than about one week, less than about ten days, less than about two weeks, or less than about a month. In another example, the time period can be a function of the time period for a subject to clear the bacteria from normal tissue or from the gut;
for example, the time period can be more than the time period for a subject to clear the bacteria from normal tissue or from the gut, such as more than about a day, more than about two days, more than about three days, more than about five days, or more than about a week.
[226] In some embodiments, the delivery of an additional therapeutic in combination with the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) described herein reduces the adverse effects and/or improves the efficacy of the additional therapeutic.
[227] The effective dose of an additional therapeutic described herein is the amount of the therapeutic agent that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient (e.g., subject), composition, and mode of administration, with the least toxicity to the patient. The effective dosage level can be identified using the methods described herein and will depend upon a variety of pharmacokinetic factors including the activity of the particular compositions administered, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular compound being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the particular compositions employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts. In general, an effective dose of an additional therapy will be the amount of the therapeutic agent which is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.
[228] The toxicity of an additional therapy is the level of adverse effects experienced by the subject during and following treatment. Adverse events associated with therapy toxicity include, but are not limited to, abdominal pain, acid indigestion, acid reflux, allergic reactions, alopecia, anaphylaxis, anemia, anxiety, lack of appetite, arthralgias, asthenia, ataxia, azotemia, loss of balance, bone pain, bleeding, blood clots, low blood pressure, elevated blood pressure, difficulty breathing, bronchitis, bruising, low white blood cell count, low red blood cell count, low platelet count, cardiotoxicity, cystitis, hemorrhagic cystitis, arrhythmias, heart valve disease, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, cataracts, central neurotoxicity, cognitive impairment, confusion, conjunctivitis, constipation, coughing, cramping, cystitis, deep vein thrombosis, dehydration, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, dry skin, dyspepsia, dyspnea, edema, electrolyte imbalance, esophagitis, fatigue, loss of fertility, fever, flatulence, flushing, gastric reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease, genital pain, granulocytopenia, gynecomastia, glaucoma, hair loss, hand-foot syndrome, headache, hearing loss, heart failure, heart palpitations, heartburn, hematoma, hemorrhagic cystitis, hepatotoxicity, hyperamylasemia, hypercalcemia, hyperchloremia, hyperglycemia, hyperkalemia, hyperlipasemia, hypermagnesemia, hypernatremia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperpigmentation, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypocalcemia, hypochloremia, hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hyponatremia, hypophosphatemia, impotence, infection, injection site reactions, insomnia, iron deficiency, itching, joint pain, kidney failure, leukopenia, liver dysfunction, memory loss, menopause, mouth sores, mucositis, muscle pain, myalgias, myelosuppression, myocarditis, neutropenic fever, nausea, nephrotoxicity, neutropenia, nosebleeds, numbness, ototoxicity, pain, palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, pancytopenia, pericarditis, peripheral neuropathy, pharyngitis, photophobia, photosensitivity, pneumonia, pneumonitis, proteinuria, pulmonary embolus, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary toxicity, rash, rapid heartbeat, rectal bleeding, restlessness, rhinitis, seizures, shortness of breath, sinusitis, thrombocytopenia, tinnitus, urinary tract infection, vaginal bleeding, vaginal dryness, vertigo, water retention, weakness, weight loss, weight gain, and xerostomia. In general, toxicity is acceptable if the benefits to the subject achieved through the therapy outweigh the adverse events experienced by the subject due to the therapy.
[229] In some embodiments, the administration of the Prevotella bacteria (e.g., a pharmaceutical composition thereof) treats the condition.
[230] As described herein, the condition to be treated can comprise a TH2-mediated condition, such as atopic dermatitis, and/or a food allergy.

[232] The effects of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 were studied in a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-driven contact hypersensitivity model (See e.g. Li et al.

[233] Prevotella histicola strain B 50329 was administered by oral gavage, and the effects of Prevotella histicola on inflammation were analyzed using various read-outs.
[234] The studies were conducted using microbes reconstituted from powder (e.g. in a lyophilized form). Sucrose was used as the vehicle for reconstitution.
[235] Every day of gavage, one vial of the Prevotella histicola strain B
50329 and one vial of anaerobic sucrose was collected from a refrigerator. Anaerobic sucrose was used to prepare the proper bacterial dilutions into sterile tubes. For instance, 800u1 of sucrose was added to 80mg of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329. In order to ensure proper resuspension, vials of resuspended powder were vortexed so that no powder was stuck to the vial. The mice were gavaged with resuspended powder at the amount of 100 IA per mouse immediately after vortexing (before the powder settles down) and the remaining powder mixture was discarded (a freshly prepared dilution must be used every time). Negative control mice were orally gavaged with 100u1 of vehicle per day.
FITC-driven hypersensitivity Study Protocol:
[236] Mice were purchased from Taconic and allowed to acclimate to the vivarium for at least 1 week prior to the start of the experiment. Mice were housed at 5 animals (or fewer) per cage, with each cage constituting a different treatment group.
[237] On day 0, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane (one at a time) and their backs were shaved.
[238] On day 1, a solution of 0.5 % FITC (w/v) was dissolved in adjuvant (dibutyl phthalate (DBP)) and acetone (1:1). To prepare the 0.5 % FITC, 250mg FITC was dissolved in 25m1 acetone. Once completely dissolved, 25m1 of DBP was added and mixed by vortexing.
[239] On days 1 and 2, mice were sensitized on the back by applying IA of the 0.5 %
FITC solution with a pipette. Anaerobic sucrose served as the negative control. Dexamethasone served as the positive control (Dexamethasone stock solution was prepared by resuspending 25mg of dexamethasone (Sigma) in 1.6 ml of 96% ethanol).
[240] On days 1-6, mice were orally gavaged with vehicle (negative control, group 1) or Prevotella histicola strain B 50329 (group 3), or injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Dexamethasone (positive control, group 2) according to following study design:
Group Sensitization Challenge Test substance p.o.
0.5% FITC 0.5% (treatment days 1-6) in 400 [IL FITC in 20u1 1 (n=5) Day 1, 2 Day 6 Vehicle (anerobic sucrose) 2 (n=5) Day 1, 2 Day 6 Dexamethasone (lmg/kg) 3 (n=5) Day 1, 2 Day 6 Prevotella histicola strain B
50329 DS (10mg) DS = Drug substance (freeze-dried)
[241] In addition to the daily gavage (groups 1 and 3) and i.p. injection (group 2), the mice were FITC-challenged on day 6 as follows: On day 6, each mouse was anesthetized with isoflurane and a baseline left ear measurement was obtained using calipers, and then 20 IA of 0.5% FITC solution was applied on the left ear (20111 0.5% FITC (w/v) DBP:acetone (1:1) ("ear challenge" or "FITC challenge").
[242] On day 7, an 8-hour post ear challenge measurement was obtained using calipers.
Mice were euthanized and ears were collected for downstream mRNA analyses using TaqMan RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit (Applied Biosystems, ThermoFisher Scientific Catalog#
4392653) according to manufacturer's instructions.
[243] Results are shown in Figures 1A and 1B.
[244] Oral administration of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled as "Prevotella histicola" in the Figures 1A-1B) significantly reduced ear swelling at 8h post-FITC ear challenge (Figure 1A).
[245] Compared to the vehicle group, Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 treatment reduced gene expression for IL-4, IL-5, IL-33, IL-17a, and TSLP in the ears (Figure 1B).
Example 2: Effects of Prevotella histicola in FITC-driven contact hypersensitivity model.
[246] The effect of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 in a FITC-driven contact hypersensitivity model was tested against two other strains, Strain 1 and Strain 2, where Strain 1 is a strain of a Prevotella species other than histicola, and Strain 2 is Strain 2 is a strain of a different genus than Prevotella.
[247] As described in Example 1, on day 0, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and their backs were shaved. On days 1 and 2, mice were sensitized on the back by applying 400 IA
of 0.5 % FITC solution with a pipette. On days 1-6, mice were orally gavaged with vehicle (sucrose) or the tested bacterial strain, or injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with Dexamethaose (positive control).
[248] As described in Example 1, on day 6, each mouse was anesthetized with isoflurane and a baseline left ear measurement was obtained using calipers.
Then the mice were FITC-challenged with 20[11 of 0.5% FITC solution applied to the left ear.
[249] On day 7, just eight (8) hours following challenge, mice were euthanized for a post-challenge ear measurement using calipers.
[250] Results are shown in Figure 2. Oral administration of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled as "Prevotella histicola" in Figure 2) significantly reduced ear swelling at 8 hours post-FITC challenge, while two other bacterial strains (Strain 1 and Strain 2) did not (Figure 2). The difference in ear swelling between Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 and Strain 1 (a strain of another species of Prevotella) was not statistically significant, while the difference in ear swelling between Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 and Strain 2 (strain of another genus than Prevotella) was statistically significant.
Example 3: Effects of Prevotella histicola in a MC903 model of dermatitis-associated food allergy to e22 white protein Ovalbumin (OVA).
[251] A mouse model of dermatitis-associated food allergy was used to assess the efficacy of bacterial strains in modulating an allergic reaction.
[252] MC903, a Vitamin D3 analog, induces inflammation and has been used in a model of atopic dermatitis (See e.g. Hussain et al. Basophil-derived IL-4 promotes epicutaneous antigen sensitization concomitant with the development of food allergy. 2017.
American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunol. http://dx. doi. org/10.1016/j . j aci.2017. 02. 035;
Moosbrugger-Martinz et al. A mouse model for atopic dermatitis using topical application of Vitamin D3 or of its analog MC903. Methods Mol. Biol. 2017;1559:91-106; Li et al. Topical vitamin D3 and low-calcemic analogs induce thymic stromal lymphopoietin in mouse keratinocytes and trigger an atopic dermatitis. PNAS. Aug. 1, 2006. Vol.
103(31): 11736-11741)).
[253] MC903 can be used to cutaneously sensitize mice to an antigen of interest, resulting in skin sensitization typified by TSLP and IL-4 production (See e.g.
Noti et al.
Exposure to food allergens through inflamed skin promotes intestinal food allergy via the TSLP-basophil axis. J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 2014 May; 133(5): 1390-1399.e6). The study design for the MC903 model of dermatitis-associated food allergy is shown in Figure 3A.
Allergens to be tested (e.g. OVA) may be obtained from vendors such as Invivogen or Sigma.
Materials and Methods
[254] Female BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks old) were purchased from Taconic Farms.

Animals were housed in specific pathogen¨free conditions in a vivarium (5 mice or fewer than 5 mice per cage), and all experiments were performed under Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved protocols and guidelines. Mice were allowed to acclimate in the vivarium for one week prior to the start of the experiment. PicoLab Rodent Diet 20 is provided and autoclaved water via sipper bottle, given ad libitum and checked daily.
[255] To induce a mouse model mimicking egg food allergy, mice were exposed to MC903 (Tocris) and 100 lig ovalbumin (OVA) daily for 14 consecutive days (days 1-14). 45[IM
of MC903 in 20 [IL of 100% ethanol was applied to one ear by pipette and, once the ear was dried, 100[Ig of OVA in PBS was applied. 20 [IL ethanol was applied to the ears of the vehicle control group.
[256] For the daily oral gavage treatments (days 1-17), negative control mice received vehicle (frozen sucrose) and positive control mice received Tofacitinib (20mg/kg in 100u1/mouse in 0.5% methylcellulose (p.o.); Tocris). One group of mice received 10mg Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 daily (3.13E+09 TCC/dose), while other groups received 10mg of either Strain A
(1.23E+10 TCC/dose) or Strain B (7.83E+09 TCC/dose) (bacterial strains that were not Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329¨Strain A was a strain of another genus than Prevotella, and Strain B was another strain of Prevotella histicola). On day 15, mice were challenged by oral gavage (p.o., also referred to as intragastric (i.g.)) with 50 mg of OVA.
[257] On day17.5, mice were orally challenged a second time with 50 mg of OVA. Ear inflammation was measured using calipers following the second challenge.
[258] Ear inflammation on Day 18 is shown in Figure 3B (12 hours after the second OVA challenge). Treatment with Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled as "P. histicola" in Figures 3B-3D) significantly reduced ear inflammation compared to the negative control group.
[259] On Day 18, 12 hours after the second OVA challenge, mice were euthanized.
Blood (for serum) and tissues (e.g. spleen, draining cervical lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes and ears) were collected for ex vivo processing.
[260] Serum was analyzed by ELISA for anti-OVA IgG1 , anti-OVA IgE using the Chondrex, Inc. Mouse Anti-OVA IgG1 Antibody Assay Kit (Catalog# 3013) and Mouse Anti-OVA IgE Antibody Assay Kit (Catalog# 3010). Results are shown in Figure 3C.
[261] Ears were homogenized for cytokine detection. Spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes (mLN), and cervical lymph nodes (cLN) were analyzed for cytokine expression following in vitro PMA stimulation and supernatant collection. Single cell suspensions of tissues were prepared, counted, and plated at 200,000 cells/well and restimulated with PMA/Ionomycin (eBiosciences Cell Stimulation cocktail Catalog# 00-4975) for 48 hours per manufacturer's instructions. Supernatants were collected and used for downstream multiplex ELISAs to determine cytokine levels using Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) kits (Catalog# K1 5068L-2). Also, ears were dissociated in 250u1 T-PER buffer (Thermo Scientific Catalog# 78510) containing Halt Protease (Thermo Scientific Catalog# 78444) and protein concentrations quantified using the BCA kit (Thermo Scientific Catalog #23227). 10Oug of protein was used to quantify cytokine levels using MSD kits (Catalog# K15068L-2). Results are shown in Figure 3D.
Example 4: Effects of Prevotella histicola in MC903 model of type 2 (Th2) immune response in OVA and food allergy to complete peanut protein (CPE).
[262] To induce a mouse model mimicking egg food allergy and peanut allergy, mice were sensitized to food allergens as described in Example 3 and as depicted in Figure 4A.
[263] MC903 was prepared in Et0H and applied daily as shown (days 1 thru 14).
[264] Some mice were exposed to MC903 and 10Oug OVA in PBS daily for 14 consecutive days. Other mice were exposed to MC903 and 10Oug complete peanut protein (CPE) daily for 14 consecutive days. In addition to the application of antigen (e.g.
OVA or CPE), mice were gavaged with sucrose vehicle (negative control), Tofacitinib (positive control), bacterial Strain A (10mg/dose) or Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (10mg/dose).
Strain A is a strain of another genus than Prevotella.
[265] On day 15, mice were challenged by oral gavage with either 50mg of OVA or 50mg peanut powder.
[266] On day17.5, mice were challenged a second time by oral gavage with either 50mg of OVA or 50mg complete peanut powder (CPE).
[267] On Day 18, 12 hours after the final antigen challenge, ear thickness was measured. Mice were euthanized and serum and tissues were collected as described in Example 3.
[268] As shown in Figure 4B, Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled "P.
histicola" in Figures 4B-4D) significantly reduced ear inflammation compared to the vehicle control groups in both the OVA and peanut allergy (CPE) groups. Antibody analyses (anti-OVA
IgG1 and anti-OVA IgE) were conducted as described in Example 3 and results shown in Figure 4C. Cytokine analyses were conducted as described in Example 3 and are shown in Figure 4D.
Ear RNA was measured as described in Example 1 and results are shown in Figure 4E.
Example 5: MC903-driven atonic dermatitis and anaphylaxis.
[269] To induce a mouse model mimicking egg food allergy, peanut allergy, and/or other allergen of interest, mice are sensitized to food allergens as described in Example 3 and depicted in Figure 5.
[270] MC903 is prepared in Et0H and applied daily as shown (days 1 thru 14).
[271] Some mice are exposed to MC903 and 10Oug CPE in PBS daily for up to consecutive days. In addition to the application of the model antigen (e.g.
CPE), mice are gavaged with sucrose vehicle (negative control), Tofacitinib (positive control; 100111 orally, daily), bacterial Strain A (10mg/dose) or Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (10mg/dose), or 200 g/mouse anti-IL-4 (i.p. days 3, 6, 9 and 12; BioXcell) (days 1-17 or as long as days 1-30).
[272] On day 30, mice are challenged with 500ug CPE i.p. and observed for anaphylaxis. Thirty minutes following CPE challenge, body temperature is measured using a rectal thermometer.
[273] On Day 31, mice are sacrificed and ear inflammation is measured.
Spleen, ear, and lymph tissue cytokines are analyzed using methods described in Examples 1 and 3.
Example 6: Tape-stripping peanut allergy model.
[274] As described above, there are various animal models for studying food allergy.
Some of these models induce sensitization of allergen (e.g. antigen) through skin barrier defects (see e.g. Ohsaki et al. Maternal IgG immune complexes induce food allergen-specific tolerance in offspring. J Exp Med. 2018. 215:91-113; Kanagaratham et al. Experimental models for studying food allergy. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2018. 6(3):356-369.el.
Doi:
10.1016/j.jcmgh.2018.05.010). In some models, skin barrier defects are induced by repeated tape-stripping of the skin after fur shaving, and the allergen is applied to the resultantly damaged skin. This "epicutaneous sensitization" to the allergen is followed, at some timepoint, by intragastric challenge to the allergen. For example, mice can be sensitized on the ear or back, using tape-stripping and exposure to peanut antigen on either days 1, 2, and 3 (ear sensitization), or days 0, 3, and 6 (back sensitization), as shown in Figure 6A. For the ear sensitization groups, mice are tape-stripped only on day 0, while the back sensitization groups are tape-stripped on days 0, 3, and 6. Mice may be challenged on day 21 and, shortly thereafter, observed and/or sacrificed for various read-outs including, but not limited to, measuring serum peanut-specific IgE, IgGl, and IgA, as well as total IgE, IgGl, and IgA, body temperature, anaphylaxis scoring, diarrhea scoring, and/or ex vivo restimulation of mesenteric lymph node (MLN) cells to assess various cytokines (including IL-4, IL-5, and TSLP). Alternatively, serum may be collected at day 35 (see Figure 6B), and in other instances, a study may last as long as 65 days (see Figure 6C).
Mice may be scored for anaphylaxis and diarrhea as shown in Table 3 and Table 4, respectively.
Table 3: Anaphylaxis Scoring Score Criteria 0 No symptoms 1 Scratching/rubbing around nose and mouth 2 Puffiness around eyes and mouth; diarrhea; pilar erecti; reduced activity with increased respiratory rate 3 Wheezing/labored respiration; cyanosis around mouth and tail.
4 No activity after prodding or tremor and convulsions Table 4: Diarrhea Scoring Score Description 0 No changes 1 Soft but well formed 2 Soft; non-formed 3 One episode of liquid diarrhea 4 At least two episodes of liquid diarrhea
[275] Female BALB/c mice were purchased from Taconic Farms and all experiments performed under Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) approved protocols and guidelines.
[276] Mice were allowed to acclimate in the vivarium for one week prior to the start of the experiment. All mice are housed at 5 animals per cage or less, in individually ventilated cages with standard bedding and enrichment. PicoLab Rodent Diet 20 was provided and autoclaved water via sipper bottle was given ad libitum and checked daily.
Experimental Design
[277] Animal groups were separated as follows (5 mice/group):
[278] 1) Naive mice (no sensitization, no peanut challenge);
[279] 2) Naive mice (no sensitization, peanut challenge on day 21);
[280] 3) Ear sensitization (sensitized days 1, 2, and 3) (no challenge);
[281] 4) Ear sensitization (sensitized days 1, 2, and 3) (peanut challenge on day 21);
[282] 5) Ear sensitization (sensitized days 1, 2, and 3) (Tofacitinib 20mg/kg) (peanut challenge on day 21);
[283] 6) Ear sensitization (sensitized days 1, 2, and 3) (P. histicola 10mg) (peanut challenge day 21);
[284] 7) Back sensitization (sensitized days 0, 3, and 6) (no challenge);
[285] 8) Back sensitization (sensitized days 0, 3, and 6) (peanut challenge on day 21);
[286] 9) Back sensitization (sensitized days 0, 3, and 6) (Tofacitinib 20mg/kg) (peanut challenge on day 21); and
[287] 10) Back sensitization (sensitized days 0, 3, and 6) (Prevotella histi cola Strain B
50329 10mg) (peanut challenge on day 21).
[288] On Day 0, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, one by one. For the ear sensitization groups, the ears of each mouse were repeatedly tape-stripped (approximately 7-8 times) with cellophane tape. For the back sensitization groups, the backs were shaved and tape-stripped with cellophane tape (approximately 7-8 times).
[289] For the ear sensitization groups, mice were tape-stripped on day 0.
On days 1, 2, and 3, 25 IA of the peanut protein solution (4mg/m1 peanut protein in PBS) was applied to both ears with a cotton swab.
[290] For the back sensitization groups, on days 0, 3, and 6, mice were tape-stripped and 100[Ig of peanut protein applied. The sensitized area was covered with a new waterproof bandage each time.
[291] For the Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 groups, mice were orally gavaged with 10mg bacteria on days 1 through 21.
[292] On Day 21, mice from groups 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 9 were challenged with a gavage of 100mg peanut protein. Mice from all groups were cheek bled one hour following peanut protein challenge and blood collected for total IgE, peanut-specific IgE, total IgG1 , peanut-specific IgGl, total IgA, and peanut-specific IgA ELISAs (Chondrex, per manufacturer's instructions).
[293] Inflammation results are shown in Figure 6D. For both the ear groups and the back groups, Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled "P. histicola" in Figures 6D-6I) decreased inflammation.
[294] Total and peanut-specific serum IgE, and IgG1 levels from the day of challenge are shown in Figures 6E and 6F, respectively.
[295] Total and peanut-specific serum IgE, IgGl, and IgA levels from 2 weeks post-challenge are shown in Figures 6G, 6H, and 61, respectively.
Example 7: FITC-CHS model.
[296] Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 was tested in a FITC-CHS model as shown in Figure 7A. The dose tested was 4.69E+09 TCC.
[297] The effects of Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 on TH2 cytokines (IL-13, IL-4, IL-5, IL-31, and IL-33) were examined at day 7. As shown in Figure 7B, Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 (labeled as "Prevotella histicola" in Figures 7B-7C) significantly lowered levels of IL-13, IL-5, and IL-31 in gut draining mesenteric lymph nodes. Cytokine levels were determined by MSD, with the experiment performed as described in Example 3. As shown in Figure 7C, Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 treatment significantly lowered levels of IL-13 in ear draining cervical lymph nodes. The experiment was performed as described in Example 3.
[298] This example demonstrates that Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 treatment significantly lowered TH2 cytokine secretion in the PMA/ionomycin ex vivo re stimulated cells from gut draining mesenteric lymph nodes and the ear draining cervical lymph nodes.

Example 8: MC903 driven Atopic Dermatitis.
[299] Prevotella histicola Strain B 50329 was tested in an MC903 driven atopic dermatitis model as shown in Figure 8A.
[300] For these experiments, mice were purchased from Taconic Labs and allowed to acclimate in the vivarium for 1 week prior to start of experiment. Mice were housed 5 animals per cage, in individually ventilated cages with standard bedding and enrichment. Standard Purina rodent diet (5001) and autoclaved water was provided ad libitum and checked daily.
[301] On Day 1, mice were anesthetized, and a baseline ear measurement was taken.
While anesthetized, ears were then sensitized with 45 nIVI calcipitriol (MC903) by pipetting a total of 20uL of solution onto both dorsal and ventral sides of the ear. Ears were sensitized daily for 14 days.
[302] Mice were orally gavaged daily with Prevotella histicola Strain B
50329 at a dose of 4.69E+09 TCC, or positive control (tofacitinib), QD, from Day 1 through Day 14.
[303] Ear measurements were taken throughout the study to track changes in thickness over time and day 14 to determine change in ear thickness from baseline.
[304] Ex vivo experiments were performed on day 17.
[305] MC903 preparation protocol: 10mg calcipitriol powder was dissolved in 10 mL
99% ethanol to create 1 mg/mL stock. Stock was diluted to 0.01856 mg/mL in 99%
ethanol. The diluted solution was aliquoted into daily use, light protective tubes at -20 C.
[306] Positive control ¨ Tofacitinib preparation: Tofacitinib was prepared in 0.5% (w/v) methylcellulose. Purified water was brought to a boil on a stir/heat plate. An appropriate amount of powder methylcellulose was weighed out. The boiling water was stirred and powder methylcellulose was added. Stirring was continued until powder was incorporated into the water.
The mixture was allowed to cool overnight in 4 C while stirring on stir plate.
50 mg stock of Tofacitinib was resuspended in 0.5% MC (mixture formed a suspension).
Tofacitinib was administered p.o., 100 uL per mouse.
