Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are specialized CD1d-restricted T cells that recognize lipid antigens. Following stimulation, NKT cells lead to downstream activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.

Stimulation of Natural Killer T Cells by Glycolipids [PDF]
Molecules, 2013 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of T cells that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the CD1d protein. The initial discovery of immunostimulatory glycolipids from a marine sponge and the T cells that respond to the compounds has led to ...

Infections, Reactions of Natural Killer T Cells and Natural Killer Cells, and Kidney Injury [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 Natural killer T (NKT) cells and NK cells are representative innate immune cells that perform antitumor and antimicrobial functions. The involvement of these cells in various renal diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI), has recently become evident.

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.

T cell regulation of natural killer cells [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2013 In light of their role in the immune response against tumors and viruses, natural killer (NK) cells represent a promising target for immunotherapy. Before this target is reached, the various mechanisms that control NK cell activity must first be identified and understood.

Roles of Natural Killer T Cells and Natural Killer Cells in Kidney Injury [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Mouse natural killer T (NKT) cells and natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune cells that are highly abundant in the liver. In addition to their already-known antitumor and antimicrobial functions, their pathophysiological roles in the kidney have recently become evident.

T-cell dysfunction in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma
OncoImmunology, 2023 Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is an incurable aggressive T-cell lymphoma closely correlated with Epstein‒Barr virus (EBV) infection. Chronic and consistent viral infection induces T-cell exhaustion. Herein, we describe T-cell dysfunction in NKTCL patients for the first time.

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.

Cord blood Vα24-Vβ11 natural killer T cells display a Th2-chemokine receptor profile and cytokine responses [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The fetal immune system is characterized by a Th2 bias but it is unclear how the Th2 predominance is established. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a rare subset of T cells with immune regulatory functions and are already activated in utero ...
