Abstract

Different human immune system components coordinate to ensure effective control of pathogens. Israel et al. (2017) examine the immune system of a patient with an inborn genetic error, presenting as impaired TLR signaling and staphylococcal disease, and uncover a beautiful example of degeneracy between innate and adaptive branches of immunity.
