Lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi) cells are key components of the machinery required for the construction of the lymphoid structures underlying immune responses. In this issue of Immunity, Vonarbourg et. al. (2010) describe how these cells assume several different guises, each associated with different LTi functions.
淋巴组织诱导(LTi)细胞是构建免疫反应所必需的淋巴组织结构的关键组成部分。在本期《免疫》杂志中,Vonarbourg 等人(2010)描述了这些细胞如何呈现出几种不同的形态,每种形态都与不同的 LTi 功能相关。
