iNKT cell regulation of B cell activation in inflammation

open access: yes, 2016
The ability to combat infections through the generation of specific immune responses is critical to our survival. The immune system can react to and combat virtually any molecule presented to it, including those derived from our own body.

iNKT cells suppress the CD8+ T cell response to a murine Burkitt's-like B cell lymphoma.

open access: yes, 2012
The T cell response to B cell lymphomas differs from the majority of solid tumors in that the malignant cells themselves are derived from B lymphocytes, key players in immune response.

Histone deacetylase 3 is required for iNKT cell development

open access: yes, 2017
NKT cells are a distinct subset that have developmental requirements that often differ from conventional T cells. Here, we show that NKT-specific deletion of Hdac3 results in a severe reduction in the number of iNKT cells, particularly of NKT1 cells.

MAIT and iNKT cells in tissue homeostasis and repair

open access: yesImmunobiology
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and invariant natural killer T (iNKT) are innate-like T cells, which develop in the thymus through an original developmental program leading to the acquisition of effector memory and tissue targeting phenotypes.

New Genetically Manipulated Mice Provide Insights Into the Development and Physiological Functions of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique T cell subset that exhibits characteristics of both innate immune cells and T cells. They express Vα14-Jα18 (Trav11-Traj18) as an invariant chain of the T cell receptor (TCR) and are restricted to the ...

Hiding Lipid Presentation: Viral Interference with CD1d-Restricted Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) Cell Activation

open access: yesViruses, 2012
The immune system plays a major role in protecting the host against viral infection. Rapid initial protection is conveyed by innate immune cells, while adaptive immunity (including T lymphocytes) requires several days to develop, yet provides high ...

Globotriaosylceramide inhibits iNKT-cell activation in a CD1d-dependent manner

open access: yes, 2016
Globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) is a glycosphingolipid present in cellular membranes that progressively accumulates in Fabry disease. Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are a population of lipid-specific T cells that are phenotypically and functionally ...

iNKT-cell activation by lysosphospholipids.

open access: yes, 2013
During inflammation cytoplasmic, membrane and secreted phospholipases (such as PLA2) produce lysophospholipids (such as LPC) from cellular phospholipids.

Insights into the heterogeneity of iNKT cells: tissue-resident and circulating subsets shaped by local microenvironmental cues

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a distinct subpopulation of innate-like T lymphocytes. They are characterized by semi-invariant T cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize both self and foreign lipid antigens presented by CD1d, a non-polymorphic ...
