Type II NKT cells: a distinct CD1d-restricted immune regulatory NKT cell subset [PDF]
Immunogenetics, 2016 Type II natural killer T cells (NKT) are a subset of the innate-like CD1d-restricted lymphocytes that are reactive to lipid antigens. Unlike the type I NKT cells, which express a semi-invariant TCR, type II NKT cells express a broader TCR repertoire. Additionally, other features, such as their predominance over type I cells in humans versus mice, the ...

Ameliorated ConA-induced hepatitis in the absence of PKC-theta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Severe liver injury that occurs when immune cells mistakenly attack an individual's own liver cells leads to autoimmune hepatitis. In mice, acute hepatitis can be induced by concanavalin A (ConA) treatment, which causes rapid activation of CD1d-positive ...

Invariant NKT cells contribute to chronic lymphocytic leukemia surveillance and prognosis [PDF]
, 2017 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant CD5(+) B lymphocytes in blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. CD1d-restricted invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes strongly implicated in

New Directions for Natural Killer T Cells in the Immunotherapy of Cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Natural killer T (NKT) cells have been placed at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity by a long series of experiments that convincingly showed that beyond cytokine secretion and NK cell recruitment, NKT cells were coordinating dendritic ...

Differential location of NKT and MAIT cells within lymphoid tissue
Scientific Reports, 2022 Natural Killer T (NKT) cells and Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that express semi-invariant αβ T cell receptors (TCRs) through which they recognise CD1d and MR1 molecules, respectively, in complex with specific ...

Macrophage transactivation for chemokine production identified as a negative regulator of granulomatous inflammation using agent-based modeling [PDF]
, 2018 Cellular activation in trans by interferons, cytokines and chemokines is a commonly recognized mechanism to amplify immune effector function and limit pathogen spread. However, an optimal host response also requires that collateral damage associated with

The Role of Adaptor Proteins in the Biology of Natural Killer T (NKT) Cells
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Adaptor proteins contribute to the selection, differentiation and activation of natural killer T (NKT) cells, an innate(-like) lymphocyte population endowed with powerful immunomodulatory properties.

Natural Killer T and Natural Killer Cell-Based Immunotherapy Strategies Targeting Cancer
Biomolecules, 2023 Both natural killer T (NKT) and natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that produce inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and their role in the innate immune response to tumors and microorganisms has been investigated. Especially,
