  This paper is of interest to immunologists conducting single-cell analyses of T-cell recognition. It provides a means of curating datasets to ensure T cell-antigen pairs are identified. The data generated through this method often suffers from a relatively high background, so the authors present a computational approach to enhance the signal-to-noise of this type of analysis. At this stage, it is unclear if the thresholds and filtering steps described by the authors can be generally applied to other datasets of different qualities than the one used here.

  This study examines the inflammatory and immune response to live E. coli bacterial infection in neonatal and juvenile mice. Important information is described on the roles of Class II MHC and interferon responsive genes in regulating the host response to infection. This study will inform future efforts to further elucidate the impact of bacterial infections on lung development.

  It is well known that Tfr cells have the capacity to preferentially suppress autoimmune antibody responses, but it is not known why such specificity exists. This important work provides new information as to how self-reactive antibody responses are regulated and has significant implications to the fields of autoimmunity and vaccine design. The overall experimental designs and the data quality are largely convincing, but the authors should include more careful controls.

  This study provides important insights on the developmental process and functional heterogeneity of liver ILC1s, especially how IL-7R+ and IL-7R- ILC1s are generated. Authors present compelling evidence on the dependence of ILC1s on IL-7R- precursor and their reliance on IL-15 to develop cytotoxic functions. The work will be of broad interest to immunologists and liver biologists.

  In this work, Verstegen and colleagues established an in vitro system and describe human B cell differentiation pathways via germinal center B cells towards plasma cells by performing single-cell analysis of in vitro stimulated human B cells. The study provides solid evidence toward establishment of in vitro model for B cell differentiation. This study may be valuable in differentiation of primary naive B cells into ASC ex vivo and will be of interest for immunologists with emphasis in B cell biology.

  This study addressed a long-standing question in biology - the role of fever during infections. Using innovative research strategy, the authors provide compelling evidence for the positive impact of higher body temperature on both pathogen clearance and tissue repair. This study thus provides important advances in our understanding of host defense and its connection with physiology and behavior.
