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 ...

Role of NKT Cells during Viral Infection and the Development of NKT Cell-Based Nanovaccines [PDF]
Vaccines, 2021 Natural killer T (NKT) cells, a small population of T cells, are capable of influencing a wide range of the immune cells, including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells and macrophages.

Type II NKT Cells: An Elusive Population With Immunoregulatory Properties
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Natural killer T (NKT) cells are unique unconventional T cells that are reactive to lipid antigens presented on the non-polymorphic major histocompatibility class (MHC) I-like molecule CD1d.

Cord blood Vα24-Vβ11 natural killer T cells display a Th2-chemokine receptor profile and cytokine responses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The fetal immune system is characterized by a Th2 bias but it is unclear how the Th2 predominance is established. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a rare subset of T cells with immune regulatory functions and are already activated in utero ...

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.

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 ...

Discovery of NKT cells and development of NKT cell-targeted anti-tumor immunotherapy
Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2015 Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are unique lymphocytes characterized by their expression of a single invariant antigen receptor encoded by Vα14Jα18 in mice and Vα24Jα18 in humans, which recognizes glycolipid antigens in association with the monomorphic CD1d molecule.

NKT cells in cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
European Journal of Pharmacology, 2017 Despite life-style advice and the prescription of cholesterol-lowering and anti-thrombotic drugs, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies focussing on atherosclerosis, the major underlying pathology of cardiovascular diseases characterized by an ...
