无独有偶,在8月3日,Nature Immunology也online了一篇文章,来自澳大利亚莫纳什大学和沃尔特和伊莱扎霍尔医学研究所的研究人员也报道发现了这类CXCR5+ CD8+ T细胞亚群,命名为Tfc细胞(follicular cytotoxic T cells),对控制HIV慢性感染非常重要。并且对该细胞的形态发生进行了细致的解析。
现在back to back的文章发表也越来越多了,反应出这种热点问题的重要性,当然也突出实验室的效率,做慢了就要被毙掉啊

During unresolved infections, some viruses escape immunological control and establish a persistant reservoir in certain cell types, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which persists in follicular helper T cells (TFH cells), and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which persists in B cells. Here we identified a specialized group of cytotoxic T cells (TC cells) that expressed the chemokine receptor CXCR5, selectively entered B cell follicles and eradicated infected TFH cells and B cells. The differentiation of these cells, which we have called 'follicular cytotoxic T cells' (TFC cells), required the transcription factors Bcl6, E2A and TCF-1 but was inhibited by the transcriptional regulators Blimp1, Id2 and Id3. Blimp1 and E2A directly regulated Cxcr5 expression and, together with Bcl6 and TCF-1, formed a transcriptional circuit that guided TFC cell development. The identification of TFC cells has far-reaching implications for the development of strategies to control infections that target B cells and TFH cells and to treat B cell–derived malignancies.
