RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

Top

Immune regulation: Local government
p615 | doi:10.1038/nri3289
Commensal bacteria in the skin promote local effector T cell responses.
PDF


Cell migration: (en)ABLing T cell migration
p616 | doi:10.1038/nri3282
ABL family kinases modulate chemokine-induced T cell polarization and migration to sites of inflammation.
PDF


Antiviral immunity: LGP2 rigs CD8+ T cells for survival
p616 | doi:10.1038/nri3286
The RIG-I-like receptor LGP2 is a cell-intrinsic regulator of antiviral CD8+ T cell responses.
PDF


Lymphoid follicles: FDCs — ubiquitous and ready for action
p617 | doi:10.1038/nri3281
Follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) arise from ubiquitous perivascular PDGFRß+ cells.
PDF


Innate immunity: TLR13, unlucky, but just for some
p618 | doi:10.1038/nri3284
An antibiotic evasion strategy in bacteria also confers resistance to the innate immune sensor TLR13.
PDF


Antiviral immunity: Deconstructing CD4+ T cell memory
p618 | doi:10.1038/nri3290
Memory CD4+ T cells use multiple redundant and synergistic mechanisms to mediate protection against influenza A virus.
PDF


Vaccination: Oral vaccine induces genitorectal immunity
p619 | doi:10.1038/nri3283
Oral delivery of a novel vaccine formulation induces immune protection against viral infection of rectal and vaginal mucosal sites.
PDF


Viral pathogenesis: HIV hitchhikes on migratory T cells
p620 | doi:10.1038/nri3287
HIV-infected CD4+T cells have a reduced rate of migration and an elongated morphology, which might represent a strategy for direct cell-to-cell transfer of the virus.
PDF


Tumour immunology: TIM3 suppresses antitumour DCs
p620 | doi:10.1038/nri3288
Chiba and colleagues characterize the role of TIM3 in suppressing innate antitumour immune responses.

REVIEWS

Top
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.

PERSPECTIVES

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.

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.
