Abstract

In this issue of , the study by Chen et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20181031) reveals a previously unrecognized role of cellular nucleic acid-binding protein (Cnbp) as a novel transcriptional regulator of interleukin-12β (IL-12β) transcription and IL-12-driven, Th1-mediated immune responses, which has important implications for both host defense and inflammatory disease.
