Killer T cells with a beta-flavi(r) for dengue
Nature Immunology 18, 1186 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3833 Authors: Sydney Blevins & Eric S Huseby Dysfunctional immunity is associated with dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. Structural analyses reveal that a key germline-encoded contact between the T cell antigen receptor and a peptide underpins the immunodominance of dengue-virus-specific CD8+ T cell responses of weak affinity.

TFR cells trump autoimmune antibody responses to limit sedition
Nature Immunology 18, 1185 (2017). doi:10.1038/ni.3856 Authors: Michelle A Linterman & Kai-Michael Toellner The differentiation of follicular regulatory T cells can be limited by the cytokine IL-2, preventing the emergence of autoantibodies. This research identifies these cells as key regulators of the germinal center response. (Source: Nature Immunology)
