Murine Butyrophilin-like (Btnl) 1 and Btnl6 form heteromeric complexes in small intestinal epithelial cells and promote proliferation of local T lymphocytes
To date, few molecular conduits mediating the cross-talk between intestinal epithelial cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) have been described. We recently showed that Butyrophilin-like (Btnl) 1 can attenuate the epithelial response to activated IELs, resulting in reduced production of pro-...
