Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells are innate-like T cells that respond rapidly with a broad range of
effector functions upon recognition of glycolipid Ags presented by CD1d. HIV-1 carries Nef …

Accumulating data suggest that natural killer (NK) cells are involved not only in the innate
antiviral response following infection, but also in shaping the quality of the adaptive immune …

Dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells have central roles in antiviral immunity by
shaping the quality of the adaptive immune response to viruses and by mediating direct …

Mounting evidence suggests a role for innate immunity in the early control of HIV infection,
before the induction of adaptive immune responses. Among the early innate immune effector …

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a major role in in vivo pathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. Therefore,
DCs may provide a promising strategy to control and eventually overcome the fatal infection …

Natural killer (NK) cells limit viral replication by direct recognition of infected cells, antibody-
dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), and releasing cytokines. Although growing evidence …

CD1d-restricted invariant NKT (iNKT) cells are a group of innate-like regulatory T cells that
recognize lipid antigens. Both mouse modeling experiments and human clinical studies …

Increasing data suggest that NK cells can mediate antiviral activity in HIV-1-infected
humans, and as such, novel approaches harnessing the anti-HIV-1 function of both T cells …

Background: Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a heterogeneous population of innate T cells
that have attracted interest because of their potential to regulate immune responses to a …

The immune system plays a major role in protecting the host against viral infection. Rapid
initial protection is conveyed by innate immune cells, while adaptive immunity (including T …
