Natural killer cells and natural killer T cells in Lyme arthritis [PDF]

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2013
Abstract Introduction Natural killer (NK) and natural killer T (NKT) cells provide a first line of defense against infection. However, these cells have not yet been examined in patients with Lyme arthritis, a late disease manifestation. Lyme arthritis usually resolves with antibiotic treatment.

Natural Killer T Cell Diversity and Immunotherapy

Cancers, 2023
Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKTs), a type of unconventional T cells, share features with NK cells and have an invariant T cell receptor (TCR), which recognizes lipid antigens loaded on CD1d molecules, a major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I)-like protein.

Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

Antibodies, 2013
Invariant Natural killer T cell (iNKT cells) are a subset of T cells, which are narrowly defined as a T cell lineage expressing a semi-invariant CD1d-restricted T cell Receptors (TCRs) composed by Vα24-Jα18/Vβ11 in human, and Vα14-Jα18/Vβ8,Vβ7, and Vβ2 ...

Natural killer cells promote early CD8 T cell responses against cytomegalovirus. [PDF]

, 2007
Understanding the mechanisms that help promote protective immune responses to pathogens is a major challenge in biomedical research and an important goal for the design of innovative therapeutic or vaccination strategies.

Features of the subpopulation composition of circulating NK and NKT cells in patients with subclinical atherosclerosis of lower limb arteries

Атеросклероз, 2020
Aim of the study was to investigate the features of the subpopulation composition of circulating NK and NKT cells and their diagnostic value in middle-aged patients, depending on the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis of lower limb arteries ...

Activation of natural killer cells during microbial infections. [PDF]

, 2011
Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes that express a diverse array of germline encoded inhibitory and activating receptors for MHC Class I and Class I-like molecules, classical co-stimulatory ligands, and cytokines.

Functional invariant natural killer T-cell and CD1d axis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: implications for immunotherapy

Haematologica, 2013
Invariant natural killer T cells recognize glycolipid antigens such as α-galactosylceramide presented by CD1d. In preclinical models of B-cell malignancies, α-galactosylceramide is an adjuvant to tumor vaccination, enhancing tumor-specific T-cell ...

Natural killer and natural killer T cells in liver fibrosis

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 2013
The liver lymphocyte population is enriched with natural killer (NK) cells, which play a key role in host defense against viral infection and tumor transformation. Recent evidence from animal models suggests that NK cells also play an important role in inhibiting liver fibrosis by selectively killing early or senescence activated hepatic stellate cells

Immunoregulation of Autoimmunity by Natural Killer T Cells [PDF]

Human Immunology, 2005
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a conserved subpopulation of lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens in a CD1d context. Upon activation through their semi-invariant T cell receptor, these cells rapidly release large amounts of immunomodulating Th1 and Th2 cytokines.

The Immunomodulatory Effects of Human Amniotic Epithelial Cells on Peripheral Blood Natural Killer T (NKT) Cells in Women with Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (URSA)

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2018
Background: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is the most common immunological complication during pregnancy. The evidence of in-vitro assays has shown that immune cells are responsible for embryotoxicity.
