Natural Killer T Cells and Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Lung Infections

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The immune system has been traditionally divided into two arms called innate and adaptive immunity. Typically, innate immunity refers to rapid defense mechanisms that set in motion within minutes to hours following an insult.

Natural Killer T Cell Based Immunotherapy [PDF]

Journal of Vaccines & Vaccination, 2012
Natural killer T (NKT) cells play an important immunoregulatory role and are thought to bridge the innate and adaptive immune responses. Following activation through cognate interactions with lipid antigen presented in the context of CD1d molecules, NKT cells rapidly produce a plethora of cytokines and can also mediate cytotoxicity. Due to their potent

Epstein–Barr Virus-Specific Immune Control by Innate Lymphocytes

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is a potent B cell transforming pathogen in humans. In most persistently EBV-infected individuals, potent cytotoxic lymphocyte responses prevent EBV-associated pathologies.

Ex vivo-expanded highly purified natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide induce antitumor effects in human glioblastoma cells in vitro.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Glioblastoma is the leading malignant glioma with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide as the standard chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma.

Natural killer T cells and the regulation of asthma [PDF]

Mucosal Immunology, 2009
A crucial role has been suggested for invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT) in regulating the development of asthma, a complex and heterogeneous disease characterized by airway inflammation and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). iNKT cells constitute a unique subset of T cells responding to endogenous and exogenous lipid antigens, rapidly secreting a ...

New cell sources for CAR-based immunotherapy

Biomarker Research, 2023
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in which a patient’s own T lymphocytes are engineered to recognize and kill cancer cells, has achieved striking success in some hematological malignancies in preclinical and clinical trials, resulting in ...

Highly activated and expanded natural killer cells for multiple myeloma immunotherapy

Haematologica, 2012
Background Patients with gene expression profiling-defined high-risk myeloma in relapse have poor outcomes with current therapies. We tested whether natural killer cells expanded by co-culture with K562 cells transfected with 41BBL and membrane-bound ...

Topographical Distribution and Spatial Interactions of Innate and Semi-Innate Immune Cells in Pancreatic and Other Periampullary Adenocarcinoma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
BackgroundThe clinical management of pancreatic and other periampullary neoplasms remains challenging. In contrast to other cancer types, immunotherapies are largely ineffective, and the reason for the deprived immune response and the immune inhibiting ...

The role of NK and NKT cells in the pathogenesis and improvement of multiple sclerosis following disease‐modifying therapies

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that T cells become autoreactive by recognizing CNS antigens. Both innate and adaptive immune systems are involved in the pathogenesis of MS.

Impact of NKG2D Signaling on Natural Killer and T‐Cell Function in Cerebral Ischemia

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Typically defined as a thromboinflammatory disease, ischemic stroke features early and delayed inflammatory responses, which determine the extent of ischemia‐related brain damage.
