  This study presents valuable findings on how the ectopic expression of the Lck protein tyrosine kinase in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemias (CLL) contributes to malignant transformation. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is solid, although the use of gene editing to directly explore the functions unique to LCK in a CLL model would increase the appeal of the work.

  Antibodies perform a critical function in host defense against viruses and have emerged as major therapeutic tools in modern medicine, as evidenced by the large scale use antibody-based therapies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper describes the characterization of human antibodies to hantaviruses that have the potential to create devastating epidemics. The results teach us about the viral structures that are targets for neutralization and the results are relevant for vaccine development and antibody therapeutic design.

  Russel et al. study and reveal compelling evidence for potential sequence-based factors that may drive VDJ trimming, a mechanism involved in VDJ recombination that shapes adaptive immune repertoire generation. The work is based on a rigorous statistical comparison of logistic regression models to reveal the role and function of cutting enzymes in shaping T- and B-cell receptor diversity. It could provide fundamental new insights into these processes with some claims being currently incomplete.

  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.
