Innate lymphocyte-induced CXCR3B-mediated melanocyte apoptosis is a potential initiator of T-cell autoreactivity in vitiligo

Tissue signals that prime autoreactive T cells at the onset of autoimmunity remain enigmatic. Here the authors show NK and ILC1 cells are increased in vitiligo patients, and induce melanocyte apoptosis via CXCR3B, which in turn leads to increased priming of T cell responses in cell culture.
