Invariant NKT cells promote CD8+ cytotoxic T cell responses by inducing CD70 expression on dendritic cells.
Activation of invariant NK T (iNKT) cells with the glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide promotes CD8(+) cytotoxic T cell responses, a property that has been used to enhance the efficacy of antitumor vaccines. Using chimeric mice, we now show that the adjuvant properties of iNKT cells require that CD40 triggering and Ag presentation to CD8(+) T cells occur on the same APCs. We demonstrate that in...
متن کاملIFN-gamma-producing human invariant NKT cells promote tumor-associated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell responses.
CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells can enhance immunity to cancer or prevent autoimmunity, depending on the cytokine profile secreted. Antitumor effects of the iNKT cell ligand alpha-galactosylceramide (alphaGC) and iNKT cell adoptive transfer have been demonstrated in various tumor models. Together with reduced numbers of iNKT cells in cancer patients, which have been linked to poor cl...
متن کاملInvariant NKT cells limit activation of autoreactive CD1d-positive B cells
Faulty activation of autoreactive B cells is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). An important feature restricting activation of autoreactive B cells is efficient removal of apoptotic material. Mounting evidence also connects a primary defect in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells to autoimmune disease development. However, exactly how this unconvention...
متن کاملDirect activation of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes by dendritic cells
Recent experiments (11-13) have shown that antigen-specific, CD8+, CD4- T lymphocytes can be induced to proliferate and become killer cells in the absence of a second population of "helper" CD8-, CD4+ cells. We have studied early events in the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets in the primary mixed leukocyte reaction. Dendritic cells are a major if not essential accessory cell for the a...
متن کاملCD161 (NKR-P1A) Costimulation of CD1d-dependent Activation of Human T Cells Expressing Invariant Vα24JαQ T Cell Receptor α Chains
A population of human T cells expressing an invariant V alpha 24 J alpha Q T cell antigen receptor (TCR) alpha chain and high levels of CD161 (NKR-P1A) appears to play an immunoregulatory role through production of both T helper (Th) type 1 and Th2 cytokines. Unlike other CD161(+) T cells, the major histocompatibility complex-like nonpolymorphic CD1d molecule is the target for the TCR expressed...
