γδ T cell-derived IL-4 initiates CD8+ T cell immunity - Nature Immunology

The authors show how Vγ1+ γδ T cells produce IL-4 to drive early CD8+ T cell and dendritic cell responses to malaria infection in mice.

Vγ1+ γδ T cells can initiate CD8+ T cell immunity to Plasmodium, with responses to some pathogens requiring help from innate-like T cells to pass an initiation threshold @natimmunol.nature.com nature.com/articles/s41...
