1/5 Our paper demonstrating a direct suppression of #epithelial cell major histocompatibility complex II (#MHCII) by #IL-22 has just been published in Journal of Experimental Medicine. This work is impactful as several long-circulating forms of IL-22 are currently in clinical trials.

Reminder for Paul Giacomin’s seminar TOMORROW noon. Zoom link has been emailed to all Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology Mucosal Immunology SIG members. See you there!

We have an ingenious mechanism to detect living & growing microbes; our MR1 protein binds to microbial metabolites and displays these to T cells to rapidly kick off immunity. Here we share what we have learned about the MR1 microbe monitor rdcu.be/dnl69 Nature Rev Immunol
