Discovery of Avian TCRVβ2+ T Cells Recognizing the Endogenous Ganglioside via a chCD1.1‐Dependent Pathway

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 10, October 2026.
We present the first report of chicken lipid‐reactive, NKT‐like TCRVβ2+ T cells that recognize the endogenous ganglioside GM3 presented by chCD1.1 on live antigen‐presenting cells. This activation induces a rapid cytokine response from avian lipid‐reactive T cells, offering a universal target for lipid‐adjuvanted poultry vaccines.

CD1d-mediated lipid presentation by CD11c+ cells regulates intestinal homeostasis

, 2020
Intestinal homeostasis relies on a continuous dialogue between the commensal bacteria and the immune system. Natural killer T (NKT) cells, which recognize CD1d-restricted microbial lipids and self-lipids, contribute to the regulation of mucosal immunity,

Cortical Thymocytes Along With Their Selecting Ligands Are Required for the Further Thymic Maturation of NKT Cells in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
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.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Mesothelin as Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Immunotherapy in Cancer

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Mesothelin overexpression activate important pathways like nuclear factor k‐light‐chain‐enhancer of activated B cells (NF‐κB) and interleukin‐6 (IL‐6). This in turn causes numerous cancers, such as pancreatic and ovarian cancers. MSLN‐targeting immunotherapies, like monoclonal antibodies, have shown efficacy.

Immunotherapy with an antibody against CD1d modulates neuroinflammation in an α-synuclein transgenic model of Lewy body like disease

Journal of Neuroinflammation
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).

Ineffectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors in prostate cancer: is it just a question of ‘‐mabs’?

The Journal of Pathology, Volume 270, Issue 2, Page 139-162, October 2026.
Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common type of neoplasm, currently treated with a variety of therapeutic agents. Although advances in treatment over the past decade have improved overall survival, patients with advanced PCa eventually progress from hormone‐sensitive PCa to metastatic castration‐resistant PCa.

CD1d-Restricted NKT Cells: An Interstrain Comparison [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2001
Abstract CD1d-restricted Vα14-Jα281 invariant αβTCR+ (NKT) cells are well defined in the C57BL/6 mouse strain, but they remain poorly characterized in non-NK1.1-expressing strains. Surrogate markers for NKT cells such as αβTCR+CD4−CD8− and DX5+CD3+ have been used in many studies, although their effectiveness in defining this lineage ...

iNKT Cells and Their potential Lipid Ligands during Viral Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique population of lipid reactive CD1d restricted innate-like T lymphocytes. Despite being a minor population, they serve as an early source of cytokines and promote immunological crosstalk thus bridging ...

Therapeutic Immune Reprogramming by Rapamycin Attenuates Plaque Inflammation and Lymphoid Immune Responses in Aged Atherosclerotic Mice

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 10, October 2026.
Rapamycin exerts multifaceted immunomodulatory effects in age‐induced atherosclerosis, with pronounced inhibitory effects on adaptive immunity. Rapamycin reduced plaque inflammation and macrophage content, diminished pro‐inflammatory T cell responses, lowered age‐associated B cell frequencies, and attenuated senescence‐associated immune signatures ...
