Coregulation of CD8+ T cell exhaustion by multiple inhibitory receptors during chronic viral infection

Shawn D Blackburn, Haina Shin, W Nicholas Haining, Tao Zou, Creg J Workman, Antonio Polley, Michael R Betts, Gordon J Freeman, Dario A A Vignali & E John Wherry

Published online: 30 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/ni.1679

Chronic infection can lead to T cell exhaustion. Wherry and colleagues demonstrate that a hierarchy of inhibitory receptors coregulate CD8+ T cell exhaustion during chronic viral infection.


Human fetal lymphoid tissue–inducer cells are interleukin 17–producing precursors to RORC+ CD127+ natural killer–like cells

Tom Cupedo, Natasha K Crellin, Natalie Papazian, Elwin J Rombouts, Kees Weijer, Jane L Grogan, Willem E Fibbe, Jan J Cornelissen & Hergen Spits

Published online: 23 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/ni.1668

Mouse lymphoid tissue–inducer (LTi) cells require the transcription factor RORgammat. Cupedo's group identifies RORgammat+ human LTi cell equivalents as committed natural killer cell precursors, and teams led by Vivier and Diefenbach describe RORgammat-expressing interleukin 22–producing natural killer cells in mouse gut.


Influence of the transcription factor RORbold gammat on the development of NKp46+ cell populations in gut and skin

Carmelo Luci, Ana Reynders, Ivaylo I Ivanov, Celine Cognet, Laurent Chiche, Lionel Chasson, Jean Hardwigsen, Esperanza Anguiano, Jacques Banchereau, Damien Chaussabel, Marc Dalod, Dan R Littman, Eric Vivier & Elena Tomasello

Cupedo's group identifies RORgammat+ human LTi cell equivalents as committed natural killer cell precursors, and teams led by Vivier and Diefenbach describe RORgammat-expressing interleukin 22–producing natural killer cells in mouse gut.


RORbold gammat and commensal microflora are required for the differentiation of mucosal interleukin 22–producing NKp46+ cells

Stephanie L Sanos, Viet L Bui, Arthur Mortha, Karin Oberle, Charlotte Heners, Caroline Johner & Andreas Diefenbach

The histone deacetylase HDAC11 regulates the expression of interleukin 10 and immune tolerance

Alejandro Villagra, Fengdong Cheng, Hong-Wei Wang, Ildelfonso Suarez, Michelle Glozak, Michelle Maurin, Danny Nguyen, Kenneth L Wright, Peter W Atadja, Kapil Bhalla, Javier Pinilla-Ibarz, Edward Seto & Eduardo M Sotomayor

Published online: 16 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/ni.1673

Interleukin 10 dampens inflammation and prevents excessive tissue damage during immune responses. Sotomayor and colleagues show that the histone deacetylase HDAC11 negatively regulates expression of the gene encoding interleukin 10 and immune tolerance.


The surface protein TIGIT suppresses T cell activation by promoting the generation of mature immunoregulatory dendritic cells

Xin Yu, Kristin Harden, Lino C Gonzalez, Michelle Francesco, Eugene Chiang, Bryan Irving, Irene Tom, Sinisa Ivelja, Canio J Refino, Hilary Clark, Dan Eaton & Jane L Grogan

Published online: 16 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/ni.1674

Dendritic cells (DCs) can promote or inhibit T cell responses. Grogan and colleagues show that the T cell protein TIGIT, by engaging poliovirus receptor on DCs, promotes DC interleukin 10 production, which inhibits T cell activation.

Systems biology approach predicts immunogenicity of the yellow fever vaccine in humans

Troy D Querec, Rama S Akondy, Eva K Lee, Weiping Cao, Helder I Nakaya, Dirk Teuwen, Ali Pirani, Kim Gernert, Jiusheng Deng, Bruz Marzolf, Kathleen Kennedy, Haiyan Wu, Soumaya Bennouna, Herold Oluoch, Joseph Miller, Ricardo Z Vencio, Mark Mulligan, Alan Aderem, Rafi Ahmed & Bali Pulendran

Published online: 23 November 2008; | doi:10.1038/ni.1688

A major challenge for vaccinologists is to understand vaccine immunogenicity. Pulendran and colleagues use systems biology to determine gene 'signatures' that predict CD8+ T cell and antibody responses to the yellow fever vaccine.


Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Author(s) Nature Immunology advance online publication, day month year (doi:10.1038/niXXXXX)". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Author(s) Nature Immunology volume, page (year); advance online publication, (doi:10.1038/niXXXXX)".
