Two novel CD1D alleles were identified in unrelated individuals from Morocco. They differ each from the common CD1D*01 allele by one nucleotide substitution in exon 2 resulting in one amino acid change in the G-ALPHA1-LIKE domain.

B Cell Subsets and Atherosclerosis: Updates and Emerging Concepts
ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasingly recognized not just as a lipid‐driven disease, but as a complex interplay between vascular cells and the immune system. Accumulating evidence highlights a central, yet heterogeneous role for B cells in atherogenesis, with distinct subsets displaying opposing roles.

Regulation of CD1d expression and function by a herpesvirus infection [PDF]
Little is known about the role of CD1d-restricted T cells in antiviral immune responses. Here we show that the lytic replication cycle of the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) promotes downregulation of cell-surface CD1d. This is caused by expression of the 2 modulator of immune recognition (MIR) proteins of the virus, each of which promotes

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).

Leishmania Extracellular Vesicles as a Preventive Vaccine Platform Against Leishmaniasis
The potential of Leishmania‐derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a vaccine platform was investigated, emphasizing an affordable, GMP‐compliant production and purification method. Immunization with EV vaccines, either unadjuvanted or combined with α‐galactosylceramide (αGC), induced robust humoral and cellular immune responses, conferring protection ...

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 Mouse CD1d Cytoplasmic Tail Mediates CD1d Trafficking and Antigen Presentation by Adaptor Protein 3-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms [PDF]
Abstract The 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 ...

iNKT Cells and Their potential Lipid Ligands during Viral Infection
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 ...

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.

Herpesviruses, including α-herpesvirus and herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), are masters of immune evasion. Previously we demonstrated that CD1d-restricted NKT cells are required for optimal anti-HSV-1 immune responses and HSV-1 efficiently downregulates ...
