The Pathophysiological Relevance of the iNKT Cell/Mononuclear Phagocyte Crosstalk in Tissues
CD1d-restricted Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are regarded as sentinels of tissue integrity by sensing local cell stress and damage. This occurs via recognition of CD1d-restricted lipid antigens, generated by stress-related metabolic changes, and ...

Synthesis of a 2ꞌꞌ-Deoxy-β-GalCer
Structural studies of ternary complexes of CD1d/glycosyl ceramides/iNKT cells and CD1d/sulfatide/sulfatide reactive Type II NKT cells have shown how the polar moieties on the glycolipids interact with both the antigen presenting protein (CD1d) and the T ...

Aberrant Presentation of Self-Lipids by Autoimmune B Cells Depletes Peripheral iNKT Cells
Summary: Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells provide cognate help via CD1d to lipid antigen-presenting B cells for antibody production, but whether B cells reciprocally regulate iNKT cells remains largely unexplored.

Atypical natural killer T-cell receptor recognition of CD1d–lipid antigens
The invariant αβTCR of type I NKT cells recognizes a lipid α-GalCer presented by CD1d. Here the authors describe atypical α-GalCer-reactive NKT cells with diverse TCRs, which bind to CD1d-α-GalCer in a manner distinct from type I NKT cells, thus ...

Role of CD1d and iNKT cells in regulating intestinal inflammation
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, a subset of unconventional T cells that recognize glycolipid antigens in a CD1d-dependent manner, are crucial in regulating diverse immune responses such as autoimmunity.

Nitration of unsaturated lipids occurs through the action of the signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) and related reactive nitrogen species. Derivatives of the most abundant glycolipid, β‐GlcCer, containing nitro‐unsaturated fatty acids are synthesized ...

The surveillance of viral infections by the unconventional Type I NKT cell
Type I NKT cells, also known as Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells, are a subpopulation of unconventional, innate-like T (ILT) cells which can proficiently influence downstream immune effector functions.
