CD1d-Restricted Natural Killer T Cells
Natural killer T (NKT) cells that express the semi-invariant T-cell receptor are innate-like lymphocytes whose functions are controlled by self and foreign glycolipid ligands. Such ligands are presented by the antigen-presenting, MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, which belongs to a family of lipid antigen-presenting molecules collectively called CD1. Activation of NKT cells in vivo results in rap...
متن کاملCD1d-Restricted Natural Killer T Cells: Roles in Tumor Immunosurveillance and Tolerance
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a heterogeneous group of T cells that share properties characteristic of both T cells and NK cells and possess a variety of unusual properties with regard to antigen recognition and function. Many of these cells recognize the non-polymorphic CD1d molecule, an antigen-presenting molecule that binds selfand foreign lipids. The best known subset of CD1d-dependent N...
متن کاملFunctionally Distinct Subsets of CD1d-restricted Natural Killer T Cells Revealed by CD1d Tetramer Staining
CD1d-restricted natural killer (NK)T cells are known to potently secrete T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cytokines and to mediate cytolysis, but it is unclear how these contrasting functional activities are regulated. Using lipid antigen-loaded CD1d tetramers, we have distinguished two subsets of CD1d-restricted T cells in fresh peripheral blood that differ in cytokine production and cytotoxic activatio...
متن کاملComparison of Two Flow Cytometric Methods for Detection of Human Invariant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT)
Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods f...
متن کاملNatural killer T cells ameliorate antibody-induced arthritis in macrophage migration inhibitory factor transgenic mice.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays an important role in inflammatory diseases. It has been reported that anti-MIF treatment and mif-gene disruption ameliorate joint inflammation in a mouse model of arthritis induced by anti-type II collagen monoclonal antibodies and lipopolysaccharide (anti-IIC mAb/LPS). In the present study, using the anti-IIC mAb/LPS system, we have analyzed a...
