Direct recognition of the mycobacterial glycolipid, trehalose dimycolate, by C-type lectin Mincle

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that macrophage inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) is an essential receptor for TDM, a mycobacterial cell wall glycolipid that is the most studied immunostimulatory component of M. tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mincle is an ITAM-coupled activating receptor that senses damaged cells.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Mincle is a receptor that senses nonhomeostatic cell death and thereby induces the production of inflammatory cytokines to drive the infiltration of neutrophils into damaged tissue.

Thymic Selection Determines γδ T Cell Effector Fate: Antigen-Naive Cells Make Interleukin-17 and Antigen-Experienced Cells Make Interferon γ

TL;DR: The swift IL-17 response mounted by antigen-naive gammadelta T cells suggests a critical role for these cells at the onset of an acute inflammatory response to novel antigens, and thymic selection determines the effector fate of gammad delta T cells rather than constrains their antigen specificities.
