Innate lymphoid cells
Purpose of review: The purpose of this article is to review recent advances in our understanding of innate lymphoid cell function and to speculate on how these cells may become activated and influence the immune response to allogeneic tissues and cells following transplantation. Recent findings: Innate lymphoid cells encompass several novel cell types whose wide ranging roles in the immune syst...
متن کاملHuman innate lymphoid cells.
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are lymphoid cells that do not express rearranged receptors and have important effector and regulatory functions in innate immunity and tissue remodeling. ILCs are categorized into 3 groups based on their distinct patterns of cytokine production and the requirement of particular transcription factors for their development and function. Group 1 ILCs (ILC1s) produce i...
متن کاملHiJAKing Innate Lymphoid Cells?
The family of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) consists of a heterogeneous group of cytokine-producing cells that have features in common with adaptive T helper (Th) cells. Cytokines acting through the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways are key players in both Th and ILC biology. Observations in animal models, supported by evidence from humans, have ...
متن کاملLymphoid-tissue stromal cells coordinate innate defense to cytomegalovirus.
During mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection, the first wave of type I interferon (IFN-I) production peaks at ≈ 8 h. This IFN-I emanates from splenic stromal cells located in the marginal zone (MZ) and requires B cells that express lymphotoxin. The amount of IFN-I produced at these initial times is at least equivalent in magnitude to that produced later by dendritic cells (≈ 36 to 48 h), but t...
متن کاملInnate lymphoid cells in tissue homeostasis and diseases
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are the most recently discovered family of innate immune cells. They are a part of the innate immune system, but develop from the lymphoid lineage. They lack pattern-recognition receptors and rearranged receptors, and therefore cannot directly mediate antigen specific responses. The progenitors specifically associated with the ILCs lineage have been uncovered, enabl...
