Innate Immune Memory (18-20 March 2015) 

Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK

This new meeting will discuss how the innate immune system is activated and regulated and how it can be harnessed to develop new therapies to treat inflammatory diseases, infection and cancer.

Abstract/Bursary Deadline: 30 Jan.
Registration Deadline: 18 Feb.

Immunology careers at the NIH, FDA and CDC: different paths that focus on advancing public health   pp129 - 132
Marta Catalfamo, Alison Mawle and Daniela Verthelyi
doi:10.1038/ni.3061
The NIH, FDA and CDC offer a wide spectrum of job opportunities focused on improving public health through the discovery and translation of research, the regulation of safe and effective medicines, and the protection of health security.

Inflammatory ILC2 cells: disguising themselves as progenitors?   pp133 - 134
Shigeo Koyasu
doi:10.1038/ni.3080
Type 2 cytokine-producing innate lymphoid cells (ILC2 cells) can respond to interleukins IL-25 and IL-33. Distinct subsets are now recognized as inflammatory ILC2 cells and natural ILC2 cells that differ in their responses to these cytokines.

Broad and strong: the ultimate antibody to dengue virus   pp135 - 137
Josefina Coloma and Eva Harris
doi:10.1038/ni.3081
The identification of a new class of cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies that strongly neutralize all four serotypes of dengue virus has important implications for vaccine design as well as for the evaluation of vaccines and of natural infection with dengue virus.

GPR15: a tale of two species   pp137 - 139
Janine Bilsborough and Joanne L Viney
doi:10.1038/ni.3084
The chemoattractant receptor GPR15 directs the homing of T cells to the colon; however, GRP15 expression differs in the effector and regulatory T cell subsets of humans versus those of mice. These findings have profound implications for the potential targeting of GRP15 for therapeutic intervention.

PTENtiating autoimmunity through Treg cell deregulation   pp139 - 140
John P Ray and Joe Craft
doi:10.1038/ni.3082
Regulatory T cells require the phosphatase PTEN to maintain suppressive function in homeostatic conditions through preserved expression of CD25 and the transcription factor Foxp3.

Pathophysiology of T follicular helper cells in humans and mice   pp142 - 152
Hideki Ueno, Jacques Banchereau and Carola G Vinuesa
doi:10.1038/ni.3054
In this Review, Ueno, Vinuesa and Banchereau discuss the similarities and differences between mouse and human follicular helper T cells (TFH cells) and discuss their role in response to vaccines and in disease pathogenesis.

Identification and distribution of developing innate lymphoid cells in the fetal mouse intestine   pp153 - 160
Jennifer K Bando, Hong-Erh Liang and Richard M Locksley
doi:10.1038/ni.3057
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) contribute to lymphoid tissue development and influence immune responses. Locksley and colleagues identify arginase 1-expressing fetal ILC precursors that give rise to multiple ILC subsets and lymphoid tissue-inducer cells.

IL-25-responsive, lineage-negative KLRG1hi cells are multipotential 'inflammatory' type 2 innate lymphoid cells   pp161 - 169
Yuefeng Huang, Liying Guo, Jin Qiu, Xi Chen, Jane Hu-Li et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3078
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2 cells) contribute to early immune responses directed against helminths and fungi. Paul and colleagues identify distinct inflammatory IL-25-responsive and natural IL-33-responsive ILC2 cells in lung tissues.

A new class of highly potent, broadly neutralizing antibodies isolated from viremic patients infected with dengue virus   pp170 - 177
Wanwisa Dejnirattisai, Wiyada Wongwiwat, Sunpetchuda Supasa, Xiaokang Zhang, Xinghong Dai et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3058
Dengue virus is an important emerging pathogen, but so far there is no vaccine effective for all serotypes. Screaton and colleagues identify a class of broadly reactive human antibodies focused on an epitope that bridges two virion subunits.

Treg cells require the phosphatase PTEN to restrain TH1 and TFH cell responses   pp178 - 187
Sharad Shrestha, Kai Yang, Cliff Guy, Peter Vogel, Geoffrey Neale et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3076
Treg cells control effector cells such as TH1 and TFH cells. Chi and colleagues demonstrate that PTEN is cell-intrinsically required for Treg cell lineage stability and regulation of effector T cell responses.

Control of PI(3) kinase in Treg cells maintains homeostasis and lineage stability   pp188 - 196
Alexandria Huynh, Michel DuPage, Bhavana Priyadharshini, Peter T Sage, Jason Quiros et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3077
Regulatory T cells normally maintain high expression of the phosphatase PTEN. Turka and colleagues use conditional deletion of PTEN in regulatory T cells to show that it is critical for their function and stability.

Dynamic expression of transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3 by regulatory T cells maintains immunotolerance   pp197 - 206
Fang Yu, Suveena Sharma, Julie Edwards, Lionel Feigenbaum and Jinfang Zhu
doi:10.1038/ni.3053
Regulatory T cells can express the classic effector T cell transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3. Zhu and colleagues demonstrate that T-bet and GATA-3 are dynamically expressed in regulatory T cells and are redundantly essential for stabilizing the identity and function of these cells.

Role and species-specific expression of colon T cell homing receptor GPR15 in colitis   pp207 - 213
Linh P Nguyen, Junliang Pan, Thanh Theresa Dinh, Husein Hadeiba, Edward O'Hara III et al.
doi:10.1038/ni.3079
The chemoattractant receptor GPR15 can direct CD4+ T cells to the colon. Habtezion and colleagues show that GATA-3 and Foxp3 exhibit species-specific differences in promoting GPR15 expression and thereby influences homing of CD4+ effector and regulatory T cells.
