Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells Contribute to the Protective Immunity Induced by Intranasal Treatment with Fc-fused Interleukin-7 against Lethal Influenza Virus Infection [PDF]
Developing a novel vaccine that can be applied against multiple strains of influenza virus is of utmost importance to human health. Previously, we demonstrated that the intranasal introduction of Fc-fused IL-7 (IL-7-mFc), a long-acting cytokine fusion ...

Lineage Differentiation Program of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells [PDF]
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate T cells restricted by CD1d molecules. They are positively selected in the thymic cortex and migrate to the medullary area, in which they differentiate into 3 different lineages.

Notch Signaling Regulates the Homeostasis of Tissue-Restricted Innate-like T Cells [PDF]
Abstract Although Notch signaling plays important roles in lineage commitment and differentiation of multiple cell types including conventional T cells, nothing is currently known concerning Notch function in innate-like T cells. We have found that the homeostasis of several well-characterized populations of innate-like T cells including

Costimulation Induces CD4 T Cell Antitumor Immunity via an Innate-like Mechanism [PDF]
Chronic exposure to tumor-associated antigens inactivates cognate T cells, restricting the repertoire of tumor-specific effector T cells. This problem was studied here by transferring TCR transgenic CD4 T cells into recipient mice that constitutively express a cognate self-antigen linked to MHC II on CD11c-bearing cells.

Chemotherapy accelerates immune-senescence and functional impairments of Vδ2pos T cells in elderly patients affected by liver metastatic colorectal cancer. [PDF]
Human (gamma delta) γδ T cells are unconventional innate-like lymphocytes displaying a broad array of anti-tumor activities with promising perspectives in cancer immunotherapy.

Distinct activation thresholds of human conventional and innate-like memory T cells [PDF]
Conventional memory CD8+ T cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells) are found in blood, liver, and mucosal tissues and have similar effector potential following activation, specifically expression of IFN-γ and granzyme B. To better understand each subset's unique contributions to immunity and pathology, we interrogated inflammation ...

Cellular networks controlling Th2 polarization in allergy and immunity [PDF]
In contrast to the development of Th1 (type 1 T helper cells), Th17 and Treg (regulatory T cells), little is known of the mechanisms governing Th2 development, which is important for immunity to helminths and for us to understand the pathogenesis of ...

Innate-like T cells in liver disease
Mammalian innate-like T cells (ILTCs), including mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT), natural killer T (NKT), and γδ T cells, are abundant tissue-resident lymphocytes that have recently emerged as orchestrators of hepatic inflammation, tissue repair, and immune homeostasis.
