Dichotomous Regulation of Acquired Immunity by Innate Lymphoid Cells
The concept of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) includes both conventional natural killer (NK) cells and helper ILCs, which resemble CD8+ killer T cells and CD4+ helper T cells in acquired immunity, respectively. Conventional NK cells are migratory cytotoxic

Regulation and function of innate-like T cells
KLRB1, encoding for CD161, is one of the most favourable prognostic pan-cancer genes. It is expressed by NK- and T-cell subsets, particularly by innate-like T cells such as MAIT and γδT cells. CD161-expressing T-cell subsets share a transcriptional and functional phenotype, including the ability to be activated by cytokines in a T-cell receptor ...

Dynamic MAIT cell response with progressively enhanced innateness during acute HIV-1 infection. [PDF]
Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell loss in chronic HIV-1 infection is a significant insult to antimicrobial immune defenses. Here we investigate the response of MAIT cells during acute HIV-1 infection utilizing the RV217 cohort with paired ...

Cytotoxic and regulatory roles of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in type 1 diabetes [PDF]
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that results from the destruction of pancreatic β-cells by the immune system that involves innate and adaptive immune cells.

RORγt inhibition selectively targets IL-17 producing iNKT and γδ-T cells enriched in Spondyloarthritis patients [PDF]
Dysregulated IL-23/IL-17 responses have been linked to psoriatic arthritis and other forms of spondyloarthritides (SpA). ROR gamma t, the key Thelperl7 (Th17) cell transcriptional regulator, is also expressed by subsets of innate-like T cells, including ...

Does an NKT-cell-based immunotherapeutic approach have a future in multiple myeloma? [PDF]
Natural killer T (NKT) cells constitute a unique subset of innate-like T lymphocytes which differ from conventional T cells by recognizing lipid antigens presented by the non-polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) I-like molecule CD1d ...

Harnessing the Power of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) Cells in Cancer Cell Therapy
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, a burgeoning type of the innate-like T cells, play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, particularly in host defense.

Identification of myeloid-derived suppressor cells in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a pilot study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of innate immune cells with a granulocyte-like or monocyte-like phenotype and a unique ability to suppress T-cell responses. MDSCs have been shown to accumulate in cancer

Role of non-canonical T cells in homeostasis and pathology
In addition to the subsets of T lymphocytes and innate lymphocytes (innate lymphoid cells), the well-known players in adaptive immunity, there is an intermediate group of lymphocytes (innate-like cells) that already possess the T cell receptor, but with ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
