Human DCs and ILC3 can engage in a reciprocal cross-talk resulting in a bidirectional cell activation relevant either in the regulation of mucosal immunity or in promoting pathological processes such as inflammatory hyperproliferative skin diseases.

NK cells play a crucial role in the clearance of human viruses but their activity is significantly impaired in chronic hepatitis B infected patients (CHB). Cooperation with dendritic cells (DCs) is pivotal for obtaining optimal NK cell antiviral function, thus we investigated whether HBV might impact the ability of DCs to sustain NK cell...
