Relationships between Th1 or Th2 iNKT cell activity and structures of CD1d-antigen complexes: meta-analysis of CD1d-glycolipids dynamics simulations. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2014
A number of potentially bioactive molecules can be found in nature. In particular, marine organisms are a valuable source of bioactive compounds. The activity of an α-galactosylceramide was first discovered in 1993 via screening of a Japanese marine ...

Glycolipid‐peptide conjugate vaccines elicit CD8+ T‐cell responses and prevent breast cancer metastasis

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2022
Objectives Metastasis is the principal cause of breast cancer mortality. Vaccines targeting breast cancer antigens have yet to demonstrate clinical efficacy, and there remains an unmet need for safe and effective treatment to reduce the risk of ...

Sulfatide inhibits  -galactosylceramide presentation by dendritic cells [PDF]

International Immunology, 2012
Sulfatide-reactive type II NKT cells, the so-called non-invariant NKT (non-iNKT) cells, have been shown to counteract invariant NKT (iNKT) cell activity. However, the effects of sulfatide on activation of iNKT cells by α-galactocylceramide (αGC) in the context of CD1d have not been studied in detail.

Using Synthetic Glycans to Investigate Anti‐Glycan Antibodies and Explore Their Medical Potential

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Anti‐glycan antibodies are essential in health and disease. Access to novel glycan structures paves the way for progress in antibody profiling for biomarker discovery, antibody development, and vaccine design. We summarize the strategies to synthesize and utilize synthetic glycans for the development and application of anti‐glycan antibodies in basic ...

Polarity of neutral glycolipids, gangliosides, and sulfated lipids in MDCK epithelial cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
Confluent monolayers of MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells provide a widely used model system for studying epithelial cell polarity. We determined the polarity of epithelial cell plasma membrane glycolipids and sulfated lipids by analyzing the lipids

Targeting the intratumoral microbiota to overcome cancer immunotherapy resistance

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review delineates the mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota in cancer immunotherapy resistance, and offers strategies for microbiota‐targeted precision immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health threat. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a sophisticated ecological niche that exerts a pivotal effect on treatment outcomes ...

Galactosylceramide containing omega-amino-fatty acids: preparation, characterization, and sulfotransferase acceptor.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1992
For preparation of an affinity ligand, an N-fatty acyl moiety of galactosylceramide (GalCer) was chemically replaced with omega-amino-fatty acid including amino-n-hexanoic acid or amino-n-dodecanoic acid to obtain omega-aminoGalCer.

The alpha and omega of galactosylceramides in T cell immune function. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Glycosphingolipids are a subgroup of glycolipids that contain an amino alcohol sphingoid base linked to sugars. They are found in the membranes of cells ranging from bacteria to vertebrates. This group of lipids is known to stimulate the immune system through activation of a type of white blood cell known as natural killer T cell (NKT cell).

Cancer Vaccine Development: Toward Artificial Intelligence‐Assisted Personalized Cell Membrane Nanovaccine

Small, EarlyView.
Cancer nanovaccines have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional cancer vaccines, which have shown limited clinical efficacy. In particular, cell membrane nanoparticle‐based nanovaccines can offer high biocompatibility and immunogenicity while preserving tumor antigens, including antigen repertoires.

Programmable Antigen‐Specific Immunity via Self‐Adjuvanting Nanovaccines Co‐Delivering Immune Modulators

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 11, 9 March 2026.
The self‐adjuvanting vaccine—comprising a covalent conjugate of antigen and adjuvant—was formulated into cationic lipid nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm to facilitate uptake by immune cells, with supplemental adjuvants incorporated to modulate immune responses.
