Host-derived lipids orchestrate pulmonary γδ T cell response to provide early protection against influenza virus infection

Influenza A infection results in γδ T cell influx and production of IL-17 in the lungs. Here, the authors show that this effect is primed by CD1-restricted ligands that are released by infected cells and presented by B1a cells in the lungs.
