On the flanks of > 6000 m Andean volcanoes that tower over the Atacama Desert, leaf‐eared mice (Phyllotis vaccarum) live at extreme elevations that surpass known vegetation limits. We used a combination of metagenomics, DNA metabarcoding, and stable isotope analyses to investigate the diet of mice living in these extreme environments.

Phosphoantigen recognition by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells
Binding of microbial or host metabolites (phosphoantigens) to the intracellular Β30.2 domain of butyrophilin (BTN)3A1 (green) initiates binding to B30.2 domains of the BTN2A1 homodimer and results in the formation of a Vγ9Vδ2 TCR ligand which may also include additional components.
