Shared and distinct transcriptional programs underlie the hybrid nature of iNKT cells [PDF]
Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are innate-like T lymphocytes that act as critical regulators of the immune response. To better characterize this population, we profiled gene expression in iNKT cells during ontogeny and in peripheral ...

Differing roles of CD1d2 and CD1d1 proteins in type I natural killer T cell development and function [PDF]
MHC class I-like CD1 molecules have evolved to present lipid-based antigens to T cells. Differences in the antigen-binding clefts of the CD1 family members determine the conformation and size of the lipids that are presented, although the factors that ...

A computational high-throughput screening approach of iNKT-agonists: a novel tool to find optimized iNKT cell ligands [PDF]
Depending on the environment and the activating glycolipids, iNKT cells are known to induce T-helper 1 and/or T-helper 2 cytokines. This highly versatile nature makes these innate-like cells very interesting targets for immunomodulation.

Invariant NKT Cell Response to Dengue Virus Infection in Human [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Dengue viral infection is a global health threat without vaccine or specific treatment. The clinical outcome varies from asymptomatic, mild dengue fever (DF) to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).

The Role of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Dendritic Cell Licensing, Cross-Priming, and Memory CD8+ T Cell Generation [PDF]
New vaccination strategies focus on achieving CD8+ T cell (CTL) immunity rather than on induction of protective antibody responses. While the requirement of CD4+ T (Th) cell help in dendritic cell (DC) activation and licensing, and in CTL memory ...

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 ...

Genetic Regulation of NKT Cell Function [PDF]
NKT cells are specialized T cells that play important roles in the host immune response to bacteria and viruses. NKT cells produce a wide variety of cytokines and chemokines after being activated by glycolipids such as α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer ...

Rat iNKT Cells: Phenotype and Function [PDF]
iNKT Zellen sind eine Population von T Zellen mit einigen Besonderheiten. Anders als die meisten αβ T Zellen, deren T Zell Rezeptoren (TZRs) für von hochpolymorphen MHC Molekülen präsentierte Peptide spezifisch sind, erkennen iNKT Zellen Glycolipide die von CD1d, einem nicht polymorphem MHC-I artigen Moleküle, präsentiert werden.
