Skin immunisation activates an innate lymphoid cell-monocyte axis regulating CD8+ effector recruitment to mucosal tissues
CD8 + T cells provide a critical defence from pathogens at mucosal epithelia including the female reproductive tract (FRT). Mucosal immunisation is considered essential to initiate this response, however this is difficult to reconcile with evidence that antigen delivered to skin can recruit protecti...

Summary: | CD8

T cells provide a critical defence from pathogens at mucosal epithelia including the female reproductive tract (FRT). Mucosal immunisation is considered essential to initiate this response, however this is difficult to reconcile with evidence that antigen delivered to skin can recruit protective CD8
+
T cells to mucosal tissues. Here we dissect the underlying mechanism. We show that adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) bio-distributes at very low level to non-lymphoid tissues after skin immunisation. This drives the expansion and activation of CD3

NK1.1

group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1) within the FRT, essential for recruitment of CD8

T-cell effectors. Interferon gamma produced by activated ILC1 is critical to licence CD11b

monocyte production of CXCL9, a chemokine required to recruit skin primed CXCR3

T-cells to the FRT. Our findings reveal a novel role for ILC1 to recruit effector CD8

T-cells to prevent virus spread and establish immune surveillance at barrier tissues.
Mucosal immunisation is important for initiating mucosal CD8

Tcell responses but mucosal recruitment of protective CD8

T cells can also be induced by skin immunisation. Here the authors examine the underlying mechanism and report a novel role for ILC1 recruiting CD8

T cells to the mucosa after skin immunisation. |
