説明

<jats:title>Commensal-specific T cells are flexible</jats:title> <jats:p> Barrier tissues, like the skin, are sites where noninvasive commensal microbes constantly interact with resident T cells. These encounters can result in commensal-specific T cell responses that promote, for example, host defense and tissue repair. Harrison <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> show that subsets of skin-resident commensal-specific interleukin-17A–producing CD4 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> and CD8 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells have a dual nature: They coexpress transcription factors that direct antagonistic antimicrobial (type 17) and antiparasite and pro–tissue repair (type 2) programs. When skin is damaged, epithelial cell alarmins license type 17 T cells to turn on type 2 cytokines. Thus, commensal-specific type 17 T cells can direct antimicrobial activity under homeostatic conditions but rapidly turn on tissue repair in the context of injury. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6422" page="eaat6280" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="363" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aat6280">eaat6280</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
