A central paradigm of immunology is that the innate immune system first detects infectious agents in peripheral tissues, shortly after a pathogen has breached an epithelial barrier. This detection event is mediated by pattern recognition receptors in phagocytes, which then migrate to draining lymph nodes (dLNs), where information of a microbial encounter is conveyed to T and B lymphocytes to generate adaptive immunity. Through the study of fungal moieties, we present data that challenge this model. We found that soluble fungal polysaccharides are immunosilent in the periphery, but become potent immunogens in the dLN. These ligands completely bypass the need of phagocyte migration and, instead, directly activate an immune response that is most similar to those that typify viral infections. These data establish a class of microbial products that violate a central tenet of the immunological lexicon and illustrate that the physical form (not just the chemical structure) impacts innate and adaptive immunity.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
