Steady-state production of IL-4 modulates immunity in mouse strains and is determined by lineage diversity of iNKT cells

TLDR
Three subsets of iNKT cells were defined that produced distinct cytokines that represented diverse lineages and not developmental stages, as previously thought; these subsets exhibited substantial interstrain variation in numbers.
Abstract
Mature invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are an early innate source of cytokines. Hogquist and colleagues classify three lineages of iNKT cells by their distinct transcription factors and cytokine profiles.

Guidelines for the use of flow cytometry and cell sorting in immunological studies (second edition)

Andrea Cossarizza, +462 more
TL;DR: These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the immunology and flow cytometry community providing the theory and key practical aspects offlow cytometry enabling immunologists to avoid the common errors that often undermine immunological data.

The burgeoning family of unconventional T cells.

TL;DR: Evidence showing that unconventional T cells are an abundant component of the human immune system is reviewed and the immunotherapeutic potential of these cells and their antigenic targets are discussed.

Hobit and Blimp1 instruct a universal transcriptional program of tissue-residency in lymphocytes

TL;DR: It is shown that the transcription factor Hobit is specifically up-regulated in Trm cells and, together with related Blimp1, mediates the development of Trms cells in skin, gut, liver, and kidney in mice.

Differentiation of Effector CD4 T Cell Populations

TL;DR: This review summarizes the discovery, functions, and relationships among Th cells; the cytokine and signaling requirements for their development; the networks of transcription factors involved in their differentiation; the epigenetic regulation of their key cytokines and transcription factors; and human diseases involving defective CD4 T cell differentiation.

T cell receptor signal strength in Treg and iNKT cell development demonstrated by a novel fluorescent reporter mouse

TL;DR: Generation of a Nur77 reporter mouse is used to demonstrate TCR signal strength during thymic selection and peripheral maintenance of conventional and nonconventional T cell subsets and presents a novel tool for studying antigen receptor activation in vivo.
