IL-2- and IL-4-dependent signaling play separate and sequential roles in the differentiation of GATA3-hi TH2 cells in vivo

Greta R. Webb, Caterina Carco, Shaiu-Choot Tang…·Franca Ronchese

This study shows IL-2 is needed for GATA3 upregulation in TH2 cells, while IL-4 promotes their proliferation and effector function in vivo.

The inflammatory microenvironment of the lung at the time of infection governs innate control of SARS-CoV-2 replication

Paul J. Baker, Andrea C. Bohrer, Ehydel Castro…·Katrin D. Mayer-Barber

This study shows that pre-existing lung inflammation reduces SARS-CoV-2 replication by activating innate immune pathways, highlighting the role of the inflammatory microenvironment in controlling viral infection.

Pre-existing interferon gamma conditions the lung to mediate early control of SARS-CoV-2

Kerry L. Hilligan, Sivaranjani Namasivayam, Chad S. Clancy…·Alan Sher

This study shows that pre-existing IFN-gamma responses from bacterial infection reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in the lungs and protect against disease in mice.
