The Biology of NKT Cells

Annual Review of Immunology, 2007
Recognized more than a decade ago, NKT cells differentiate from mainstream thymic precursors through instructive signals emanating during TCR engagement by CD1d-expressing cortical thymocytes. Their semi-invariant αβ TCRs recognize isoglobotrihexosylceramide, a mammalian glycosphingolipid, as well as microbial α-glycuronylceramides found in the cell ...

Role of NKT Cells in the Digestive System. II. NKT cells and diabetes

American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 2007
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of regulatory T lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex class I-related glycoprotein CD1d. NKT cells have been implicated in regulating the progression of Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in human patients and in an animal model for T1D.

NKT cells in liver diseases

Frontiers of Medicine, 2018
Natural killer T cells are innate-like and tissue-resident lymphocytes, which recognize lipid antigens and are enriched in the liver. Natural killer T cells play important roles in infections, tumors, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases.

Invariant NKT Cells and Tolerance

International Reviews of Immunology, 2007
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate cells that can bias an immune response toward inflammation or toward a negative regulatory response. iNKT cells can produce cytokines immediately on exposure to activating signals, but the role of iNKT cells in the differentiation of T regulatory (Treg) cells and peripheral tolerance was elucidated ...

NKT cells and viral immunity

Immunology & Cell Biology, 2004
Over the past 10 years a new population of cells has been the focus of much attention. The functions of these unique lymphocytes, characterized by the concomitant expression of T‐ and NK‐cell markers and thus termed NKT cells, have been implicated in many diverse aspects of immunity, including regulation of autoimmune disorders, control of tumour ...

Raising the NKT cell family

Nature Immunology, 2010
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are CD1d-restricted, lipid antigen-reactive, immunoregulatory T lymphocytes that can promote cell-mediated immunity to tumors and infectious organisms, including bacteria and viruses, yet paradoxically they can also suppress the cell-mediated immunity associated with autoimmune disease and allograft rejection ...

NKT Cells: The Culprits of Sepsis?

Journal of Surgical Research, 2011
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 pro-inflammatory cascades that include the activation of various immune cells and the exuberant secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by these cells. Natural killer T-cells (
