Untangling how γδ T cells kick-start CD8 immunity!

Ever wondered why gamma delta T cells are required for immunity to liver-stage malaria? Spoiler - they make IL-4! @TheDohertyInst @NatImmunol nature.com/articles/s4159…

Sharing our latest work @PNASNews MR1 presents vitamin B6–related compounds for recognition by MR1-reactive T cells We postulate that tumours' increased metabolism of vit B6 leads to elevated levels of pyridoxal and preferential recognition of tumours by pan-cancer T cells see 🧵

We're incredibly stoked and honoured to have Fabio Grassi's commentary on our paper - this work has built on many of his team's findings and body of work, in the nexus of purinergic control of T cell activation and function! 🌟

Grassi @LaStatale discusses new study by Xu, @_fernace et al (hubs.la/Q02YM3m20) which defines NAD-induced cell death via purinergic P2RX7 receptor in type 1 unconventional T cells, particularly intrahepatic MAIT cells pivotal in liver homeostasis hubs.la/Q02YMplz0

Xu, @_fernace et al. @TheDohertyInst reveal that the ARTC2–P2RX7 regulatory axis is a key modulator of unconventional T-cell survival, showing how this pathway selectively influences innate-like, IFN-γ and IL-4 co-producing T cells. hubs.la/Q02YM2N90 #LymphocyteBiology
