2 Figure 1 Intraepithelial Lymphocyte Dynamics
The figure shows the behavior of IELs within an intestinal villus. Under homeostatic conditions, TCRγδ+ CD8aa+ lymphocytes (γδ IELs) monitor the intestinal epithelium by moving in the space between the epithelial layer and the basement membrane. When the IELs sense the presence of pathogens, via MyD88-dependent signaling in epithelial cells, they begin to exhibit “flossing” behavior—moving between epithelial cells—accompanied by metabolic reprogramming and an increase in the production of anti-microbial genes.
