CD8+ T-cell immunity orchestrated by iNKT cells
CD8+ T cells belonging to the adaptive immune system play key roles in defending against viral infections and cancers. The current CD8+ T cell-based immunotherapy has emerged as a superior therapeutic avenue for the eradication of tumor cells and long ...

Ly49E Expression on CD8αα-expressing intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes plays no detectable role in the development and progression of experimentally induced inflammatory bowel diseases [PDF]
The Ly49E NK receptor is a unique inhibitory receptor, presenting with a high degree of conservation among mouse strains and expression on both NK cells and intraepithelial-localised T cells.

Unique and redundant functions of NKp46+ ILC3s in models of intestinal inflammation [PDF]
Group 3 ILCs (ILC3s) are innate sources of IL-22 and IL-17 and include lymphoid tissue-inducer (LTi)-like and NKp46(+) subsets. Both depend on RORγt and aryl hydrocarbon receptor, but NKp46(+)ILC3s also require Notch and T-bet for their development and ...

Unraveling the phenotypic states of human innate-like T cells: Comparative insights with conventional T cells and mouse models. [PDF]
The "innate-like" T cell compartment, known as Tinn, represents a diverse group of T cells that straddle the boundary between innate and adaptive immunity. We explore the transcriptional landscape of Tinn compared to conventional T cells (Tconv) in the human thymus and blood using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and flow cytometry.

TLR1-induced chemokine production is critical for mucosal immunity against Yersinia enterocolitica. [PDF]
Our gastrointestinal tract is a portal of entry for a number of bacteria and viruses. Thus, this tissue must develop ways to induce antigen-specific T cell and antibody responses quickly.

Convergence of the innate and adaptive immunity during human aging
Aging is associated with profound changes in the human immune system, a phenomenon referred to as immunosenescence. This complex immune remodeling affects the adaptive immune system and the CD8+ T cell compartment in particular, leading to the ...

IL-4 Induced Innate CD8+ T Cells Control Persistent Viral Infection. [PDF]
Memory-like CD8+ T cells expressing eomesodermin are a subset of innate T cells initially identified in a number of genetically modified mice, and also exist in wild mice and human.

Evolutionary Underpinnings of Innate-Like T Cell Interactions with Cancer
Cancers impose a significant health and economic burden. By harnessing the immune system, current immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment against human cancers and potentially offer a long-term cure. Among others, innate-like T (iT) cells, including natural killer T cells, are promising candidates for immunotherapies.

Identification of a porcine liver eomes-high-T-bet-low NK cell subset that resembles human liver resident NK cells [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are cells of the innate immunity and play an important role in the defense against viral infections and cancer, but also contribute to shaping adaptive immune responses. Long-lived tissue-resident NK cells have been described in

MAITs and their mates: “Innate-like” behaviors in conventional and unconventional T cells
Summary Most CD4 and CD8 T cells are restricted by conventional major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules and mount TCR-dependent adaptive immune responses. In contrast, MAIT, iNKT, and certain γδ TCR bearing cells are characterized by their abilities to recognize antigens presented by unconventional antigen-presenting molecules ...
