Abstract:
The early response to bacterial infection requires cytokine responses by immune cells. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Seo et al. (2018) demonstrate that TNF-TNFR superfamily molecules LIGHT and HVEM stimulate early IFN-γ production by type 3 innate lymphoid cells, which are critical for defense against Yersinia enterocolitica.
