Nature Outlook: Influenza
Our centuries-old battle against influenza occasionally erupts into mass death - the 1918 pandemic alone killed at least 50 million people. Can new research offer hope for defeating this pathogen for good?

|  |  |  | Induction of BALT in the absence of IL-17 p2 Javier Rangel-Moreno, Damian M Carragher, Maria de la Luz Garcia-Hernandez, Ji Young Hwang, Kim Kusser, Louise Hartson, Jay K Kolls, Shabaana A Khader and Troy D Randall doi:10.1038/ni.2168 Full Text | PDF
|  | Meeting Reports | Top |  |  |  | Lymphocyte signaling: a Tuscan affair pp3 - 6 Cosima T Baldari, Oreste Acuto, Facundo Batista, Gary Koretzky and Arthur Weiss doi:10.1038/ni.2185 At the third of the three-part EMBO Conference series “Signaling in the immune system,” immunologists presented their most recent findings in this rapidly moving field and discussed new questions and emerging trends.

|  |  |  | 4th Aegean Conference on The Crossroads between Innate and Adaptive Immunity pp7 - 10 Stephen P Schoenberger, Bali Pulendran and Peter D Katsikis doi:10.1038/ni.2192 The worlds of innate and adaptive immunity collided pleasantly and productively as investigators from each field met in Mykonos for the 4th Aegean Conference on the Crossroads Between Innate and Adaptive Immunity.

| Perspective | Top |  |  |  | A new synthesis for antibody-mediated immunity pp21 - 28 Arturo Casadevall and Liise-anne Pirofski doi:10.1038/ni.2184 Abstract | Full Text | PDF
|  | Articles | Top |  |  |  | The redox-sensitive cation channel TRPM2 modulates phagocyte ROS production and inflammation pp29 - 34 Anke Di, Xiao-Pei Gao, Feng Qian, Takeshi Kawamura, Jin Han, Claudie Hecquet, Richard D Ye, Stephen M Vogel and Asrar B Malik doi:10.1038/ni.2171 The generation of reactive oxygen species needs to be carefully controlled to prevent tissue injury. Malik and colleagues identify a negative feedback mechanism for such production involving the cation channel TRPM2. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
|  |  |  | Identification of Bcl-6-dependent follicular helper NKT cells that provide cognate help for B cell responses pp35 - 43 Pheh-Ping Chang, Patricia Barral, Jessica Fitch, Alvin Pratama, Cindy S Ma, Axel Kallies, Jennifer J Hogan, Vincenzo Cerundolo, Stuart G Tangye, Robert Bittman, Stephen L Nutt, Robert Brink, Dale I Godfrey, Facundo D Batista and Carola G Vinuesa doi:10.1038/ni.2166 Invariant NKT cells elicit the rapid release of cytokines. Two papers by Leadbetter and Vinuesa and colleagues show that these cells can also provide direct help to B cells to elicit rapid antibody responses. Abstract | Full Text | PDF See also: News and Views by Lehuen & Fazilleau
|  |  |  | Invariant natural killer T cells direct B cell responses to cognate lipid antigen in an IL-21-dependent manner pp44 - 50 Irah L King, Anne Fortier, Michael Tighe, John Dibble, Gerald F M Watts, Natacha Veerapen, Ann M Haberman, Gurdyal S Besra, Markus Mohrs, Michael B Brenner and Elizabeth A Leadbetter doi:10.1038/ni.2172 Invariant NKT cells elicit the rapid release of cytokines. Two papers by Leadbetter and Vinuesa and colleagues show that these cells can also provide direct help to B cells to elicit rapid antibody responses.

|  |  |  | Enforced viral replication activates adaptive immunity and is essential for the control of a cytopathic virus pp51 - 57 Nadine Honke, Namir Shaabani, Giuseppe Cadeddu, Ursula R Sorg, Dong-Er Zhang, Mirko Trilling, Karin Klingel, Martina Sauter, Reinhard Kandolf, Nicole Gailus, Nico van Rooijen, Christoph Burkart, Stephan E Baldus, Melanie Grusdat, Max Löhning, Hartmut Hengel, Klaus Pfeffer, Masato Tanaka, Dieter Höussinger, Mike Recher, Philipp A Lang and Karl S Lang doi:10.1038/ni.2169 Type 1 interferon limits virus replication. Lang and colleagues show that expression of Usp18 in metallophilic macrophages results in less interferon responsiveness, which allows locally restricted virus replication and the induction of adaptive immune responses.

|  |  |  | Divergent expression patterns of IL-4 and IL-13 define unique functions in allergic immunity pp58 - 66 Hong-Erh Liang, R Lee Reinhardt, Jennifer K Bando, Brandon M Sullivan, I-Cheng Ho and Richard M Locksley doi:10.1038/ni.2182 Interleukins 4 and 13 are critical for responses to helminthes. Locksley and colleagues use genetically engineered reporter mice to assess the temporal and spatial production of these cytokines in vivo. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
|  |  |  | Transendothelial migration of lymphocytes mediated by intraendothelial vesicle stores rather than by extracellular chemokine depots pp67 - 76 Ziv Shulman, Shmuel J Cohen, Ben Roediger, Vyacheslav Kalchenko, Rohit Jain, Valentin Grabovsky, Eugenia Klein, Vera Shinder, Liat Stoler-Barak, Sara W Feigelson, Tsipi Meshel, Susanna M Nurmi, Itamar Goldstein, Olivier Hartley, Carl G Gahmberg, Amos Etzioni, Wolfgang Weninger, Adit Ben-Baruch and Ronen Alon doi:10.1038/ni.2173 Endothelium-presented chemokines are critical for the entry of lymphocytes into tissues. Alon and colleagues show that transendothelial migration, but not adhesion, of effector lymphocytes on inflamed endothelium is dependent on chemokine signals.

|  |  |  | TGF-β induces the expression of the adaptor Ndfip1 to silence IL-4 production during iTreg cell differentiation pp77 - 85 Allison M Beal, Natalia Ramos-Hernández, Chris R Riling, Erin A Nowelsky and Paula M Oliver doi:10.1038/ni.2154 Induced regulatory T cells are important for peripheral tolerance. Oliver and colleagues identify a key function for the adaptor Ndfip1 in stabilizing the identity and function of such cells. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
|  |  |  | Harnessing of the nucleosome-remodeling-deacetylase complex controls lymphocyte development and prevents leukemogenesis pp86 - 94 Jiangwen Zhang, Audrey F Jackson, Taku Naito, Marei Dose, John Seavitt, Feifei Liu, Elizabeth J Heller, Mariko Kashiwagi, Toshimi Yoshida, Fotini Gounari, Howard T Petrie and Katia Georgopoulos doi:10.1038/ni.2150 Lymphocyte development is regulated by Ikaros transcription factors. Georgopoulos and colleagues show that Ikaros tethers the nucleosome-remodeling factor Mi-2β and restrains its ability to act at nonlymphoid gene sites.

|  | Resource | Top |  |  |  | Principles of dimer-specific gene regulation revealed by a comprehensive characterization of NF-κB family DNA binding pp95 - 102 Trevor Siggers, Abraham B Chang, Ana Teixeira, Daniel Wong, Kevin J Williams, Bilal Ahmed, Jiannis Ragoussis, Irina A Udalova, Stephen T Smale and Martha L Bulyk doi:10.1038/ni.2151 The NF-κB transcription factor family comprises five distinct proteins. Bulyk and colleagues show that homo- and heterodimeric forms of NF-κB recognize distinct κB sites; this introduces additional specificity to NF-κB gene regulation. Abstract | Full Text | PDF
