NKT cells: In the beginning… [PDF]
European Journal of Immunology, 2007 Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells as we know them today are a unique subset of mature T cells co-expressing a semi-invariant Valpha14/Vbeta8 TCR and surface markers characteristic of NK cells. The semi-invariant TCR on iNKT cells recognizes glycolipids bound to monomorphic CD1d molecules, leading to rapid cytokine production.

The Role of Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer—A Phenotypical and Functional Approach
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of CD1d-restricted T cells at the interface between the innate and adaptive immune system. NKT cells can be subdivided into functional subsets that respond rapidly to a wide variety of glycolipids and stress ...

Description of invariant NKT cells.
Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2021 Recently discovered subpopulations belonging to cell groups called “invariant” NKT, also referred to as type I NKT or classical NKT cells, appear to have a unique impact on the tumor microenvironment. Considering the characteristics of secreted cytokines, production of chemokines and the capability of cell cytotoxic activity, these cells have a ...

Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic strategies Abstract Background and Aims Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly heterogeneous cancer with limited understanding and few effective therapeutic approaches. We aimed at providing a proteogenomic CCA characterization to inform biological processes and treatment ...

Betting on NKT and NK Cells [PDF]
Immunity, 2004 Natural killer T (NKT) cells, as their name implies, constitutively express markers and receptors first identified on bona fide natural killer (NK) cells, supporting a potential relationship between NKT and NK cells. In this issue of Immunity, Townsend et al. further define this relationship in terms of the transcription factor, T-bet.

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique T cell subset that exhibits characteristics from both the innate immune cells and T cells. There are at least two subsets of NKT cells, type I and type II.
