Discovery of Avian TCRVβ2+ T Cells Recognizing the Endogenous Ganglioside via a chCD1.1‐Dependent Pathway

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 10, October 2026.
We present the first report of chicken lipid‐reactive, NKT‐like TCRVβ2+ T cells that recognize the endogenous ganglioside GM3 presented by chCD1.1 on live antigen‐presenting cells. This activation induces a rapid cytokine response from avian lipid‐reactive T cells, offering a universal target for lipid‐adjuvanted poultry vaccines.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Tissue-specific shaping of the TCR repertoire and antigen specificity of iNKT cells

eLife, 2019
Tissue homeostasis is critically dependent on the function of tissue-resident lymphocytes, including lipid-reactive invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells.

Immune‐Cell Dynamics in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Cancer Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Immune‐cell dynamics in the tumor microenvironment converge on four major barriers to effective therapy: failed immune access, defective antigen visibility and priming, loss of effector maintenance, and suppressive tissue remodeling. These barriers emerge from local hypoxic, cytokine, metabolic, and stromal signals.

Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Immune Regulation of Blood Cancers: Harnessing Their Potential in Immunotherapies

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique innate T lymphocyte population that possess cytolytic properties and profound immunoregulatory activities. iNKT cells play an important role in the immune surveillance of blood cancers.

A Chemically Defined Four‐Component Self‐Adjuvanting Tn Vaccine Activating Mincle, FcγR, and CD206 for Enhanced Antitumor Immunity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 52, 18 September 2026.
A fully synthetic four‐component vaccine has been developed combining Tn antigen, vizantin (Mincle agonist), rhamnose (antibody recruitment), and mannose (CD206 targeting). By synergistically activating Mincle, FcγR, and CD206 pathways, it elicits strong IgG switching and cytotoxic T‐cells, significantly inhibiting tumors in mice.

Invariant NKT cells: regulation and function during viral infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) represent a subset of T lymphocytes that express natural killer (NK) cell surface markers. A subset of NKT cells, termed invariant NKT cells (iNKT), express a highly restricted T cell receptor (TCR) and respond to CD1d ...

CXCL10/SLC11A1 Axis Exacerbates Septic Liver Injury by Regulating Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation to Drive Macrophage Pro‑Inflammatory Polarization

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 54, 28 September 2026.
In sepsis‐induced liver injury, marked neutrophil infiltration correlates with disease severity. Neutrophil SLC11A1 drives intracellular Fe2+ and ROS via the Fenton reaction, promoting NETs formation. Hepatocyte‐derived CXCL10 recruits neutrophils and activates the JAK/STAT1/SLC11A1 axis, enhancing NETs‐mediated inflammation.

A party of three: iNKT cells in GVHD prevention [PDF]

Blood, 2015
In this issue of Blood, Schneidawind et al demonstrate that the adoptive transfer of CD4+ invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells from third-party mice protects from lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) through expansion of donor regulatory T cells (Tregs) in a murine model of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Analysis of the Role of N‐Linked Glycans on Human CD1d Molecules

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT CD1d is a cell‐surface expressed glycoprotein that presents a variety of lipid and glycolipid antigens to invariant natural killer T‐cells (iNKT). We have examined the role of the N‐linked glycans on the human CD1d (hCD1d) in modulating the responses of iNKT cells using a combination of cell‐free, cell‐based assays and in silico analyses ...
