iNKT Cells: Innate Lymphocytes with a Diverse Response
Critical Reviews in Immunology, 2014It is now established that natural killer T (NKT) cells can influence adaptive immune responses by producing vast amounts of cytokines. Different subsets of NKT cells with distinctive functional characteristics regarding cytokine production have been described.

Activation and Function of iNKT and MAIT Cells
2015Over the last two decades, it has been established that peptides are not the only antigens recognized by T lymphocytes. Here, we review information on two T lymphocyte populations that recognize nonpeptide antigens: invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells), which respond to glycolipids, and mucosal associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells), which ...

Expansion of Human iNKT Cells Ex Vivo
2021Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are credited with antitumor activity by preclinical studies and clinical trials. Efficient expansion of iNKT cells ex vivo is essential for their translational usage. The culturing procedure described here provides an optimized method for ex vivo expansion of iNKT cells using recombinant human IL-15 (rhIL-15) and

GVHD protection? ThiNK iNKT cells
Blood, 2012In this issue of Blood , Rubio et al report that posttransplant invariant NKT (iNKT) cell recovery is inversely correlated with the risk of developing GVHD after stem cell transplantation ...

Natural killer T cells (NKT) are T lymphocytes with a reactivity directed against glycolipid antigens presented by MHC-like CD1d molecules expressed by antigen presenting cells (APC). A large proportion of these cells (invariant NKT cells (iNKT)) possess strong immunomodulatory properties which impose a profound impact on the development and course of ...

Expression of functional GPR35 in human iNKT cells
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010The aim of this study was to examine the expression of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)35 in human invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells and to determine the functional effects induced by selective activation of this receptor. RT-PCR analysis showed that both human iNKT cells and resting PBMC expressed GPR35; GPR35 protein resulted mostly localized ...

The complexity of the immune system requires mechanisms, cellular and molecular, that coordinate early innate immune responses to those of late adaptive immune responses. One type of immune cell that is able to mediate this bridge between innate immunity and adaptive immunity is the invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell. In recent years, much research

Basic Techniques for Studies of iNKT Cells and MAIT Cells
2014Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells) are T cell subsets belonging to innate-like lymphocytes. These innate-like lymphocytes express semi-invariant T cell receptors, but exert diverse functions and thus are involved in various types of immune responses. As iNKT cells and MAIT cells are abundant in

iNKT cells do a fat lot of good
Nature Immunology, 2016Altered signaling via the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) promotes an adipose-tissue-like phenotype in invariant natural killer cells (iNKT cells) during thymic development and causes selective enrichment for iNKT cells in adipose tissues.
