ILC1: guardians of the oral mucosa against enemy viruses

Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) regulate inflammation in the tissues; however, their role in anti-viral immunity remains largely unknown. In this issue of Immunity, Shannon et al. report that ILC1s invoke an anti-viral effect by producing interferon (IFN)γ at homeostasis, thereby limiting viral...

Sumario:Type 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s) regulate inflammation in the tissues; however, their role in anti-viral immunity remains largely unknown. In this issue of Immunity, Shannon et al. report that ILC1s invoke an anti-viral effect by producing interferon (IFN)γ at homeostasis, thereby limiting viral replication in the oral mucosa.
