NFAT2 regulates generation of innate-like CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD8+ T lymphocytes responses [PDF]
NFAT2 null mutant mice die in utero of cardiac failure, precluding analysis of the role of NFAT2 in lymphocyte responses. Only the NFAT2-/-/Rag-1-/- chimeric mice model gave insight into the role of NFAT2 transcription factor in T lymphocyte development,

Deficiency of innate-like T lymphocytes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background Based on the phenotypic and functional characteristics unconventional T-lymphocytes such as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells link the innate and adaptive immune responses.

Innate-like lymphocytes in intestinal infections. [PDF]
The mechanisms of immunity against intestinal pathogens are not well understood. Innate-like lymphocytes are a group of recently discovered cells that do not fit into either side of the historical innate-adaptive classification. They are enriched in the intestinal mucosa and participate in gut homeostasis and defense against infections.

The in-betweeners: MAIT cells join the innate-like lymphocytes gang. [PDF]
![Figure][1] Insight from David Margulies Recent studies of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells indicate that they respond to a range of pathogen-derived vitamin metabolites presented at the cell surface by the evolutionarily conserved and nonpolymorphic MHC-related class I ...

Conserved developmental rewiring of the TCR signalosome drives tolerance in innate-like lymphocytes
Abstract Natural intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IELs) are innate-like, intestine-resident T cells essential for gut homeostasis. These cells express self-reactive T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) due to thymic agonist selection, but they do not cause autoimmunity. The mechanism underlying natural T-IELs tolerance in the gut is unclear.

Mechanisms of activation of innate-like intraepithelial T lymphocytes [PDF]
Intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) contain subsets of innate-like T cells that evoke innate and adaptive immune responses to provide rapid protection at epithelial barrier sites. In the intestine, T-IEL express variable T cell antigen receptors (TCR), with unknown antigen specificities.

Exploring the Role of Innate Lymphocytes in the Immune System of Bats and Virus-Host Interactions
Bats are reservoirs of a large number of viruses of global public health significance, including the ancestral virus for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although

Bmi1 Maintains the Self-Renewal Property of Innate-like B Lymphocytes [PDF]
Abstract The self-renewal ability is a unique property of fetal-derived innate-like B-1a lymphocytes, which survive and function without being replenished by bone marrow (BM) progenitors. However, the mechanism by which IgM-secreting mature B-1a lymphocytes self-renew is poorly understood.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, in which autoreactive T and B cells play important roles. Other lymphocytes such as NK cells and innate-like T cells appear to be involved as well.

Cytotoxic innate intraepithelial lymphocytes control early stages of Cryptosporidium infection
BackgroundIntraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are the first immune cells to contact and fight intestinal pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, a widespread parasite which infects the gut epithelium. IFN-γ producing CD4+ T IELs provide an efficient and a long-
