NKT Cells in Neurological Diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique subset of T lymphocytes with the expression of T cell receptor (TCR) and NK cell lineage receptors. These cells can rapidly release large quantities of cytokines and function as a bridge between innate and ...

The Role of NKT Cells in Glioblastoma [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Glioblastoma is an aggressive and deadly cancer, but to date, immunotherapies have failed to make significant strides in improving prognoses for glioblastoma patients. One of the current challenges to developing immunological interventions for glioblastoma is our incomplete understanding of the numerous immunoregulatory mechanisms at play in the ...

Harnessing NKT cells for vaccination [PDF]
Oxford Open Immunology, 2021 Lay Summary Vaccine-induced immune responses generally involve activation of immune cells called T and B cells that have a variety of mechanisms to limit the infection. Each T or B cell has a randomly generated receptor for binding pathogen-derived antigens, but only a few cells with an individual’s repertoire of cells will recognize a ...

Regulation of NKT Cells by Ly49: Analysis of Primary NKT Cells and Generation of NKT Cell Line [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2001 Abstract TCRαβ+NK1.1+ (NKT) cells are known to express various NK cell-associated molecules including the Ly49 family of receptors for MHC class I, but its functional significance has been unclear. Here, we examined the expression of Ly49A, C/I and G2 on various NKT cell populations from normal and MHC class I-deficient C57BL/6 mice ...

NKT cells in mucosal immunity [PDF]
Mucosal Immunology, 2009 The gastrointestinal tract allows the residence of an almost enumerable number of bacteria. To maintain homeostasis, the mucosal immune system must remain tolerant to the commensal microbiota and eradicate pathogenic bacteria. Aberrant interactions between the mucosal immune cells and the microbiota have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ...

Clinical & developmental immunology, 2010 Sepsis is currently a leading cause of death in hospital intensive care units. Previous studies suggest that the pathophysiology of sepsis involves the hyperactivation of complex proinflammatory cascades that include the activation of various immune cells and the exuberant secretion of proinflammatory cytokines by these cells.

Efficient isolation of mouse liver NKT cells by perfusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: NKT cell is a population of unconventional T cells that mediate both innate and adaptive T cell responses. Since NKT cells are most abundant in the liver, much of NKT biology has been learnt from studies of NKT cells isolated from liver. This

Pro-inflammatory activated Kupffer cells by lipids induce hepatic NKT cells deficiency through activation-induced cell death. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Dietary lipids play an important role in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) through alternation of liver innate immune response.

Immunobiology, 2017 The role of NKT cells in the resistance or susceptibility towards Leishmania infections remains to be defined, since controversial data persist. The response of these cells seems to depend on many variables such as the infection site, the number of infecting parasites, the virulence of the strain and the Leishmania species.
