Osteopontin regulates development and function of invariant natural killer T cells.
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells belong to a subset of lymphocytes bridging innate and acquired immunity. We demonstrated that osteopontin (OPN) is involved in the activation of iNKT cells. In the present work, we examined whether OPN affects development and function of iNKT cells. We found that the number of peripheral iNKT cells was significantly reduced in OPN-deficient mice compared ...
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 کاملInvariant Natural Killer T Cells
Invariant Natural killer T cell (iNKT cells) are a subset of T cells, which are narrowly defined as a T cell lineage expressing a semi-invariant CD1d-restricted T cell Receptors (TCRs) composed by Vα24-Jα18/Vβ11 in human, and Vα14-Jα18/Vβ8,Vβ7, and Vβ2 in mouse. Unlike conventional T cells which recognize peptides bound to highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II...
متن کاملDevelopment and Function of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells Producing TH2- and TH17-Cytokines
There is heterogeneity in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells based on the expression of CD4 and the IL-17 receptor B (IL-17RB), a receptor for IL-25 which is a key factor in T(H)2 immunity. However, the development pathway and precise function of these iNKT cell subtypes remain unknown. IL-17RB⁺iNKT cells are present in the thymic CD44⁺/⁻ NK1.1⁻ population and develop normally even in the ...
متن کاملNormal development and function of invariant natural killer T cells in mice with isoglobotrihexosylceramide (iGb3) deficiency.
CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells, expressing the invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR) chain encoded by Valpha14-Jalpha18 gene segments in mice and Valpha24-Jalpha18 in humans [invariant NKT (iNKT) cells], contribute to immunoregulatory processes, such as tolerance, host defense, and tumor surveillance. iNKT cells are positively selected in the thymus by CD1d molecules expressed b...
