An in silico approach for modelling T-helper polarizing iNKT cell agonists [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Many analogues of the glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) are known to activate iNKT cells through their interaction with CD1d-expressing antigen-presenting cells, inducing the release of Th1 and Th2 cytokines. Because of iNKT cell involvement

An optimized method for isolating and expanding invariant natural killer T cells from mouse spleen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ability to rapidly secrete cytokines upon stimulation is a functional characteristic of the invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell lineage. iNKT cells are therefore characterized as an innate T cell population capable of activating and steering ...

Structure-Function Implications of the Ability of Monoclonal Antibodies Against α-Galactosylceramide-CD1d Complex to Recognize β-Mannosylceramide Presentation by CD1d

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
iNKT cells are CD1d-restricted T cells recognizing lipid antigens. The prototypic iNKT cell-agonist α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) alongside compounds with similar structures induces robust proliferation and cytokine production of iNKT cells and ...

A potent adjuvant effect of a CD1d-binding NKT cell ligand in human immune system mice

open access: yesExpert Review of Vaccines, 2017
Objectives: A CD1d-binding invariant natural killer T (iNKT)-cell stimulatory glycolipid, namely 7DW8-5, is shown to enhance the efficacy of radiation-attenuated sporozoites (RAS)-based malaria vaccine in mice.

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.

Epigenetic induction of CD1d expression primes lung cancer cells for killing by invariant natural killer T cells

open access: yesOncoImmunology, 2018
Immunotherapies that target CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells can prevent tumor growth in murine models but trials in humans have shown limited clinical efficacy. Here, we show that iNKT cells are depleted from blood and bronchial lavage samples

CD1d-Restricted Type II NKT Cells Reactive With Endogenous Hydrophobic Peptides

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
NKT cells belong to a distinct subset of T cells that recognize hydrophobic antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecules, such as CD1d.

Immune evasion of the CD1d/NKT cell axis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Many reviews on the CD1d/NKT cell axis focus on the ability of CD1d-restricted NKT cells to serve as effector cells in a variety of disorders, be they infectious diseases, cancer or autoimmunity.

Come forth CD1d: Hsp110 in the regulation of intestinal epithelial CD1d expression [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
CD1d, a nonclassical MHC class I-like molecule, is prominently expressed on intestinal epithelial cells and is thought to function in the regulation of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte activity. Hsp110, an abundant heat shock protein present in essentially all mammalian tissues, has now been shown to upregulate CD1d expression in colonic tissue ...

Altered thymic differentiation and modulation of arthritis by invariant NKT cells expressing mutant ZAP70 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Various subsets of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells with different cytokine productions develop in the mouse thymus, but the factors driving their differentiation remain unclear.
