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?

Innate iNKT cell help to B cells: fast but does not last pp11 - 13
Agnès Lehuen and Nicolas Fazilleau
doi:10.1038/ni.2186
Harnessing invariant natural killer T cells can boost various immune responses. Two studies now shed light on the direct interaction between those cells and B cells that induce strong primary B cell responses.

CD169+ macrophages take the bullet pp13 - 14
Burkhard Ludewig and Luisa Cervantes-Barragan
doi:10.1038/ni.2189
Lifting the protective shield provided by the type I interferon system selectively in CD169+ splenic macrophages enforces localized viral replication. Such controlled release of virus amplifies adaptive antiviral immune responses.

Transmigration of effector T lymphocytes: changing the rules pp15 - 16
Gabriela Constantin and Carlo Laudanna
doi:10.1038/ni.2188
The transmigration of effector T lymphocytes is critical to adoptive immune response. The rules for the migration of effector T cells are now reported to be distinct from those that apply to naive and memory T cells.

Ikaros changes the face of NuRD remodeling pp16 - 18
Kenneth J Oestreich and Amy S Weinmann
doi:10.1038/ni.2191
The inclusion of the transcription factor Ikaros in the NuRD chromatin-remodeling complex regulates both the targeting and activity of the NuRD complex in lymphocytes, thereby influencing developmental gene-expression programs.

A new synthesis for antibody-mediated immunity pp21 - 28
Arturo Casadevall and Liise-anne Pirofski

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
