Novel Approaches to Exploiting Invariant NKT Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy
iNKT cells are a subset of innate-like T cells that utilize an invariant TCR alpha chain complexed with a limited repertoire of TCR beta chains to recognize specific lipid antigens presented by CD1d molecules. Because iNKT cells have an invariant TCR, they can be easily identified and targeted in both humans and mice via standard reagents, making this a population of T cells that has been well ...
متن کاملNK, NKT and Invariant-NKT Cells in Tumor Draining Lymph Nodes of Patients with Breast Cancer
Background: NK (natural killer) and NKT (natural killer T) cells, as components of innate immune system, play a crucial role in tumor progression and dissemination. Objective: To investigate the percentages of NK cells, NKT cells, iNKT (invariant natural killer T) cells, total T lymphocytes as well as activated T lymphocytes, in tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLN...
متن کاملNew approaches in cancer immunotherapy: review article
Cancer immunotherapy refers to any intervention that leverages the immune system to eliminate a malignancy. Successful cancer immunotherapies generate an anti-cancer response that is systemic, specific, and durable and overcome to the primary limitations of traditional cancer treatment modalities. In this review paper, the effective methods in immune system to treat cancer, such as immunosuppre...
متن کاملExploiting invariant NKT cells to promote T-cell responses to cancer vaccines
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have the capacity to amplify adaptive immune responses by licensing antigen-presenting cells. A simple vaccine consisting of whole tumor cells pulsed with an iNKT-cell agonist efficiently delivers antigens plus adjuvants to endogenous dendritic cells and has potential for clinical applications.
متن کاملInvariant NKT Cells as Novel Targets for Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a small population of lymphocytes that possess characteristics of both innate and adaptive immune cells. They are uniquely poised to respond rapidly to infection and inflammation and produce cytokines that critically shape the ensuing adaptive cellular response. Therefore, they represent promising therapeutic targets. In cancer, NKT cells are attributed a role i...
