Invariant NKT cells contribute to chronic lymphocytic leukemia surveillance and prognosis [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant CD5(+) B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. CD1d-restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes strongly implicated in

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.

An optimized method for isolating and expanding invariant natural killer T cells from mouse spleen [PDF]
The ability to rapidly secrete cytokines upon stimulation is a functional characteristic of the invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell lineage. iNKT cells are therefore characterized as an innate T cell population capable of activating and steering ...

Mouse Invariant Monoclonal Antibody NKT14: A Novel Tool to Manipulate iNKT Cell Function In Vivo. [PDF]
Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are a T cell subset expressing an invariant T Cell Receptor (TCR) that recognizes glycolipid antigens rather than peptides.

Synthesis of C-5" and C-6"-modified α-GalCer analogues as iNKT-cell agonists [PDF]
Alpha-Galactosyl Ceramide (α-GalCer) is a prototypical synthetic ligand of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Upon presentation by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, this glycolipid stimulates iNKT cells to secrete a vast amount of both pro ...

Reading the room: iNKT cells influence B cell responses
Rapid immune responses regulated by invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells bridge the gap between innate and adaptive responses to pathogens, while also providing key regulation to maintain immune homeostasis. iNKT immune protection and immune regulation are both mediated through interactions with innate and adaptive B cell populations that express ...

iNKT and MAIT Cell Alterations in Diabetes [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are multifactorial diseases with different etiologies in which chronic inflammation takes place. Defects in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell populations have been reported in both T1D and T2D patients, mouse models and our recent study revealed mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell defects in ...

The histone demethylase UTX regulates the lineage-specific epigenetic program of invariant natural killer T cells [PDF]
Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are innate-like lymphocytes that protect against infection, autoimmune disease and cancer. However, little is known about the epigenetic regulation of iNKT cell development.

Tailored design of NKT-stimulatory glycolipids for polarization of immune responses. [PDF]
Natural killer T (NKT) cell is a distinct population of T lymphocytes that can rapidly release massive amount of Th1 and Th2 cytokines upon the engagement of their T cell receptor with glycolipids presented by CD1d.

The development of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells requires a well-attuned set of transcription factors, but how these factors are regulated and coordinated remains poorly understood. MicroRNA-155 (miR-155) is a key regulator of numerous cellular
