ILCs and T Cells Competing for Space: More Than a Numbers Game

Publication date: 18 July 2017
Source:Immunity, Volume 47, Issue 1
Author(s): Christin Friedrich, Georg Gasteiger
T cell homeostasis critically depends on interleukin-7 (IL-7). In this issue of Immunity, Martin et al. (2017) provide evidence that IL-7 availability is regulated through a "cytokine sink" involving innate lymphoid cells that compete for and consume IL-7 and thereby restrict T cell homeostasis in lymphoid organs.
