Murine ILCs can modulate T cell responses in MHCII-dependent manner. Here the authors show that human ILCs process and present antigens and induce T-cell responses upon exposure to IL-1-family cytokines; along with the article by Lehmann et al, this work elucidates how cytokines set context specificity of ILC-T cell crosstalk by regulating ILC antigen presentation.
