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 …

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

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a T-cell subpopulation known to possess immunoregulatory
functions and recognize CD1d molecules. The majority of NKT cells express an invariant T …

This protocol describes methods to identify, purify and culture CD1d restricted invariant
natural killer T (i NKT) cells from mouse tissue or human blood samples. The methods for …

Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells have an indubitable role in antiviral immunity, although the
mechanisms by which these cells exert their functions are not fully elucidated. With the …

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a unique subset of T lymphocytes that recognize
glycolipid antigens in the context of the antigen-presenting molecule CD1d. Upon glycolipid …

Invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells) recognize CD1d/glycolipid complexes. We demonstrate that
the nonglycosidic compound threitolceramide efficiently activates iNKT cells, resulting in …

Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells are a subset of highly conserved immunoregulatory T cells that
modify a variety of immune responses, including alloreactivity. Central to their function is the …

The CD1 family of antigen‐presenting molecules consists of five members, CD1a to e. Of
these molecules CD1d has been the subject of much interest over the past 10 years …

Natural killer T (NKT) cells represent a unique T cell lineage. The NKT cells bearing an
invariant TCR (iNKT cells) recognize a small variety of glycolipid antigens in the context of …
