TBK-binding protein 1 regulates IL-15-induced autophagy and NKT cell survival

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) regulates the homeostasis of many immune cell types, including natural killer T (NKT) cells, but the underlying mechanism is not completely clear. Here the authors analyse Tbkbp1-deficient mice and show that IL-15 induces Tbkbp1-dependent autophagy to modulate NKT survival.
