Porcine Invariant Natural Killer T Cells: Functional Profiling and Dynamics in Steady State and Viral Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Pigs are important livestock and comprehensive understanding of their immune responses in infections is critical to improve vaccines and therapies. Moreover, similarities between human and swine physiology suggest that pigs are a superior animal model ...

A humanized monoclonal antibody specific for invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells for in vivo depletion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of T cells recognizing glycolipid antigens presented by CD1d. Human iNKT cells express a conserved T cell receptor (TCR)-α chain (Vα24-Jα18) paired with a specific beta chain, Vβ11.

α-Lactosylceramide Protects Against iNKT-Mediated Murine Airway Hyperreactivity and Liver Injury Through Competitive Inhibition of Cd1d Binding

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, which are activated by T cell receptor (TCR)-dependent recognition of lipid-based antigens presented by the CD1d molecule, have been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including asthma and ...

Serpinb1a Is Dispensable for the Development and Cytokine Response of Invariant Natural Killer T Cell Subsets

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes. They quickly respond to antigenic stimulation by producing copious amounts of cytokines and chemokines.

T cells, the Next Big Target in Axial Spondyloarthritis?

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by complex immune dysregulation, with T cells playing a central role in its pathogenesis. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on diverse T cell subsets in axSpA, their pathogenic mechanisms, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting these cells. We highlight

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.

Preclinical efficacy of combination therapy with allogeneic induced pluripotent stem cell-derived invariant natural killer T and α-galactosylceramide-pulsed antigen-presenting cells

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, upon activation, exhibit antitumor roles by bridging innate and acquired immunity. To overcome the challenges in producing iNKT cells from patients with cancer, we previously developed allogeneic human induced ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

The response of CD1d-restricted invariant NKT cells to microbial pathogens and their products

Frontiers in Immunology, 2015
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells become activated during a wide variety of infections. This includes organisms lacking cognate CD1d-binding glycolipid antigens recognized by the semi-invariant T cell receptor of iNKT cells. Additional studies have

Synovial Fluid Immune Cell Landscape in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 10, October 2026.
Synovial fluid immune cells in juvenile idiopathic arthritis were profiled using single‐cell multiomics and flow cytometry. The immune landscape in synovial fluid was markedly distinct from that of blood and was enriched for dendritic cells, CD56hi NK cells, γδ T cells, CD4+ T peripheral helper and regulatory T cells, tissue‐resident memory CD8+ T ...
