Lipocalin 2 modulates dendritic cell activity and shapes immunity to influenza in a microbiome dependent manner.

Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is a secreted glycoprotein with roles in multiple biological processes. It contributes to host defense by interference with bacterial iron uptake and exerts immunomodulatory functions in various diseases.
