Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) promote T cell activation in the spleen but suppress it in the gut. Here, the authors show that this distinct regulation is mediated by gut microbiota-induced IL-23 and IFN-γ, respectively, and, along with the article by Rao et al, this work elucidates how cytokines set context specificity of ILC-T cell crosstalk by regulating ILC antigen presentation.
