Summary

The functional plasticity of NK-22 cells is demonstrated, which may allow flexible responses to different pathogens, and it is found that NK- 22 cells released the B-cell survival factor, B- cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF), suggesting a potential role of NK -22 cells in promoting B–mediated mucosal immunity.
