title: Focus issue: regulation of lymphocyte function.
abstract: During the month of July, Science Signaling has highlighted mechanisms by which lymphocytes of the innate and adaptive immune responses are regulated to promote effective immunity and prevent inappropriate and damaging responses. Research Articles and Perspectives in this series and the Archives focus on the mechanisms by which the functions of T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells are regulated and the therapeutic implications of understanding the regulation of these cells.
