Recognized more than a decade ago, NKT cells differentiate from mainstream thymic
precursors through instructive signals emanating during TCR engagement by CD1d …

The liver is a unique anatomical and immunological site in which antigen‐rich blood from
the gastrointestinal tract is pressed through a network of sinusoids and scanned by antigen …

▪ Abstract This review summarizes the major features of CD1 genes and proteins, the
patterns of intracellular trafficking of CD1 molecules, and how they sample different …

NKT cells are innate-like T cells, recruited to the skin during viral infection, yet their
contributions to long-term immune memory to viruses are unclear. We identified granzyme K …

NKT cells are a unique T lymphocyte sublineage that has been implicated in the regulation
of immune responses associated with a broad range of diseases, including autoimmunity …

CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells are important for host defense against a variety of
microbial pathogens. How and when these T cells become activated physiologically during …

Natural killer T (NKT) cells combine features of the innate and adaptive immune systems.
Recently, it has become evident that these T cells have crucial roles in the response to …

Infection with influenza A virus (IAV) presents a substantial threat to public health worldwide,
with young, elderly, and immunodeficient individuals being particularly susceptible …

Purpose: Human invariant natural killer T (NKT) cells are novel, distinct lymphocyte
populations with a restricted T-cell receptor repertoire (Vα24-Vβ11). They play a pivotal role …

NKT cells are a relatively newly recognized member of the immune community, with
profound effects on the rest of the immune system despite their small numbers. They are true …
