The anatomical and cellular basis of immune surveillance in the central nervous system Richard M. Ransohoff & Britta Engelhardt p623 | doi:10.1038/nri3265 In this Review, the authors describe how immune responses are initiated and propagated against antigens found in the central nervous system (CNS). They explain how the unique anatomy of the CNS affects immune surveillance of its tissues, and discuss the implications for autoimmune responses in the CNS.

The impact of differential antiviral immunity in children and adults Andrew J. Prendergast, Paul Klenerman & Philip J. R. Goulder p636 | doi:10.1038/nri3277 Infections with HIV, hepatitis B virus and cytomegalovirus have markedly different outcomes depending on whether they are acquired during infancy or adult life. Information about the differences between antiviral immune responses in early and later life that can be gained from these examples should inform the development of new therapeutic strategies.

FOXO transcription factors throughout T cell biology Stephen M. Hedrick, Rodrigo Hess Michelini, Andrew L. Doedens, Ananda W. Goldrath & Erica L. Stone p649 | doi:10.1038/nri3278 Forkhead box O (FOXO) transcription factors have many diverse physiological functions and regulate gene-expression programmes that are involved in immunity, metabolism and oncogenesis. This Review discusses how FOXO proteins integrate different environmental signals in order to regulate T cell differentiation and functions in a context-dependent manner.

ESSAY Pro-cognitive properties of T cells Jonathan Kipnis, Sachin Gadani & Nöel C. Derecki p663 | doi:10.1038/nri3280 Can the immune system influence how our brain works? Here, Jonathan Kipnis and colleagues discuss the emerging hypothesis that T cells, and in particular their production of interleukin-4, can have beneficial effects on learning and memory. Abstract | Full Text | PDF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
OPINION Why must T cells be cross-reactive? Andrew K. Sewell p669 | doi:10.1038/nri3279 T cells must recognize a vast array of potential foreign peptide-MHC complexes. Comprehensive immune cover can only be provided if each T cell recognizes numerous peptides. The implications of this T cell cross-reactivity include autoimmune disease but also provide opportunities for multiple therapeutic interventions.
