Natural killer T cell and pathophysiology of asthma [PDF]
Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2010 Natural killer T (NKT) cell is a special type of T lymphocytes that has both receptor of natural killer (NK) cell (NK1.1, CD161c) and T cell (TCR) and express a conserved or invariant T cell receptor called V?#7284;J?#7288; in mice or Va24 in humans ...

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

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.

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.

NKT Cells Contribute to the Control of Microbial Infections
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Innate (-like) T lymphocytes such as natural killer T (NKT) cells play a pivotal role in the recognition of microbial infections and their subsequent elimination.

Tailored design of NKT-stimulatory glycolipids for polarization of immune responses. [PDF]
, 2017 Natural killer T (NKT) cell is a distinct population of T lymphocytes that can rapidly release massive amount of Th1 and Th2 cytokines upon the engagement of their T cell receptor with glycolipids presented by CD1d.

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 ...

NKT sublineage specification and survival requires the ubiquitin-modifying enzyme TNF AIP3/A20 [PDF]
, 2016 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate lymphocytes that differentiate into NKT1, NKT2, and NKT17 sublineages during development. However, the signaling events that control NKT sublineage specification and differentiation remain poorly understood.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Vaccination with CD1d-binding glycolipid adjuvants and co-administered protein, lipid, and carbohydrate antigens leads to invariant natural killer T (NKT) cell-dependent enhancement of protective B cell responses.

Alterations in cellular metabolism modulate CD1d-mediated NKT-cell responses [PDF]
, 2016 Natural killer T (NKT) cells play a critical role in the host's innate immune response. CD1d-mediated presentation of glycolipid antigens to NKT cells has been established; however, the mechanisms by which NKT cells recognize infected or cancerous cells ...
