In this issue of Cell, Borriello et al. show that soluble fungal mannans elicit potent innate immune responses within skin-draining lymph nodes. These can be exploited for effective development of adaptive immune responses against viral glycoproteins, thus enhancing vaccine immunogenicity and protection.
