The developmental relationships between the various ILC lineages that have been identified to date are reviewed and their functions in protective immunity to infection and their pathological roles in allergic and autoimmune diseases are summarized.
Abstract
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are newly identified members of the lymphoid lineage that have emerging roles in mediating immune responses and in regulating tissue homeostasis and inflammation. Here, we review the developmental relationships between the various ILC lineages that have been identified to date and summarize their functions in protective immunity to infection and their pathological roles in allergic and autoimmune diseases.

Chemokines and Chemokine Receptors: Positioning Cells for Host Defense and Immunity

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent advances in understanding how the chemokine system orchestrates immune cell migration and positioning at the organismic level in homeostasis, in acute inflammation, and during the generation and regulation of adoptive primary and secondary immune responses in the lymphoid system and peripheral nonlymphoid tissue.

Interleukin-22 mediates early host defense against attaching and effacing bacterial pathogens

TL;DR: This work shows that interleukin-22 (IL-22) has a crucial role in the early phase of host defense against C. rodentium and identifies a new innate immune function for IL-22 in regulating early defense mechanisms against A/E bacterial pathogens.

Innate production of T H 2 cytokines by adipose tissue-associated c-Kit + Sca-1 + lymphoid cells

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of innate lymphocyte present in a novel lymphoid structure associated with adipose tissues in the peritoneal cavity was reported. But these cells do not express lineage (Lin) markers but do express c-Kit, Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a), IL7R and IL33R.
