Fat-associated lymphoid clusters (FALC) in the serous cavities house rapid IgM-producing B1 cells, but how the clusters are activated to respond to infection is unclear. Here the authors show that in response to lung inflammation or pleural nematode infection adipose stromal cell-derived IL-33 activates ILC2s to produce IL-5, thus driving the B1 response in the FALCs.
