The Ly49E receptor inhibits the immune control of acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in the blood upon infection and invades various cells. Parasites intensively multiply during the acute phase of infection and persist lifelong at low levels in tissues and blood during the chronic phase.

Following positive selection, NKT cell precursors enter an “NK-like” program and progress from an NK– to an NK+ maturational stage to give rise to NKT1 cells. Maturation takes place in the thymus or after emigration of NK– NKT cells to the periphery.

BAFF activation of the ERK5 MAP kinase pathway regulates B cell survival [PDF]
B cell activating factor (BAFF) stimulation of the BAFF receptor (BAFF-R) is essential for the homeostatic survival of mature B cells. Earlier in vitro experiments with inhibitors that block MEK 1 and 2 suggested that activation of ERK 1 and 2 MAP ...

The NF‐κB transcription factor RelA directs mucosal‐associated invariant T‐cell development
In this study, we found that the nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer in activated B cells (NF‐κB) transcription factor RelA, and to a lesser extent NF‐κB1 and NF‐κB2, are key regulators of mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT)‐cell development and differentiation.

The glycolipid‐peptide antigen complexes for self‐adjuvanting conjugates were successfully synthesized, and, with the HLA‐transgenic mice, the antigen‐specific CD8+ T cell expansion was exhibited. The results provide useful insights for the design and synthesis of vaccine conjugates using glycolipid antigen as an adjuvant.

CD1d-dependent Activation of NKT Cells Aggravates Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Adaptive and innate immunity have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Given their abundance in the lesion, lipids might be targets of the atherosclerosis-associated immune response. Natural killer T (NKT) cells can recognize lipid antigens presented by CD1 molecules.

Kinetics and cellular site of glycolipid loading control [PDF]
CD1d-restricted natural killer T cells (NKT cells) possess a wide range of effector and regulatory activities that are related to their ability to secrete both T helper 1 (Th1) cell- and Th2 cell-type cytokines.

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

The neuroinflammatory process in synucleinopathies of the aging population such as Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) involves microglial activation as well as infiltration of the CNS by T cells and natural killer T cells (NKTs).

The Mouse CD1d Cytoplasmic Tail Mediates CD1d Trafficking and Antigen Presentation by Adaptor Protein 3-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms [PDF]
AbstractThe short cytoplasmic tail of mouse CD1d (mCD1d) is required for its endosomal localization, for the presentation of some glycolipid Ags, and for the development of Vα14i NKT cells. This tail has a four-amino acid Tyr-containing motif, Tyr-Gln-Asp-Ile (YQDI), similar to those sequences known to be important for the interaction with adaptor ...
