Highlights
Arginine vasopressin (AVP) modulates immune function via vasoactivity, osmoregulation, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and antipyresis
AVP regulates innate and adaptive immune cell proliferation, migration, and function
AVP activates intracellular pathways, including NF-κB and inflammasome signaling
Dysregulated AVP signaling contributes to immune dysfunction in brain injury and autoimmunity
