iNKT Cells and Their Potential Lipid Ligands during Viral Infection
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique population of lipid-reactive CD1d-restricted innate-like T lymphocytes. Despite being a minor population, they serve as an early source of cytokines and promote immunological crosstalk thus bridging innate and adaptive immunity. Diseases ranging from allergy, autoimmunity, and cancer, as well as infectious diseases, including viral infection,...
متن کاملA mutation within the SH2 domain of slp-76 regulates the tissue distribution and cytokine production of iNKT cells in mice.
TCR ligation is critical for the selection, activation, and integrin expression of T lymphocytes. Here, we explored the role of the TCR adaptor protein slp-76 on iNKT-cell biology. Compared to B6 controls, slp-76(ace/ace) mice carrying a missense mutation (Thr428Ile) within the SH2-domain of slp-76 showed an increase in iNKT cells in the thymus and lymph nodes, but a decrease in iNKT cells in s...
متن کامل[Immunoregulation by iNKT cells].
NKT cells are defined as cells co-expressing of the natural killer receptors such as NK1.1 or NKR-P1A (CD161) and a T cell receptor (TCR). Although NK1.1(+) TCR(+) lymphocytes are heterogeneous, we focus on two distinct T cell subsets express invariant T cell receptor alpha chains, Valpha14-Jalpha18(Valpha14i) and Valpha19-Jalpha33(Valpha19i). Valpha14i NKT cells (Valpha24i NKT cells for human)...
متن کاملGVHD protection? ThiNK iNKT cells.
In this issue of Blood, Rubio et al report that posttransplant invariant NKT (iNKT) cell recovery is inversely correlated with the risk of developing GVHD after stem cell transplantation.1 A llogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the best curative therapy for many patients with hematologic malignancies and/or marrow failure states. While significant advances in transpl...
متن کاملMesenchymal Stromal Cells and Tissue-Specific Progenitor Cells: Their Role in Tissue Homeostasis
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) reside in many human organs and comprise heterogeneous population of cells with self-renewal ability. These cells can be isolated from different tissues, and their morphology, immunophenotype, and differentiation potential are dependent on their tissue of origin. Each organ contains specific population of stromal cells which maintain regeneratio...
