What is ICOSL in host defense at epithelial barriers: lessons from ICOSLG deficiency about?

Autosomal recessive mutations in Inducible T Cell Costimulator Ligand (ICOSLG) result in a combined immunodeficiency syndrome of humans, saliently marked by recurrent respiratory tract infections and significant disease with DNA-based viruses at epithelial barriers, including human papillomavirus (HPV). These features are also seen in persons with loss of function of the complementary gene, ICOS. The infection phenotypes associated with these natural experiments disclose a critical role of the corresponding proteins, ICOSL and ICOS, in human immunity at mucocutaneous barriers. Here, we review the syndromes of ICOSL and ICOS deficiency and explore the mechanisms by which the ICOSL:ICOS axis mediates epithelial host defenses.
