Journal ArticleDOI

A reversible defect in natural killer T cell function characterizes the progression of premalignant to malignant multiple myeloma.

TL;DR: Clinical progression in patients with monoclonal gammopathies is associated with an acquired but potentially reversible defect in NKT cell function and support the possibility that these innate lymphocytes play a role in controlling the malignant growth of this incurable B cell tumor in patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of ligand-dependent activation of human natural killer T cells by lenalidomide: therapeutic implications

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that LEN and its analogues enhance CD1d-mediated presentation of glycolipid antigens and support combining these agents with NKT targeted approaches for protection against tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation-associated lysophospholipids as ligands for CD1d-restricted T cells in human cancer.

TL;DR: A biochemical approach is taken to directly isolate and characterize the nature of CD1d-binding ligands from the plasma of myeloma patients to suggest a novel mechanism for inflammation mediated immune regulation in human cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cells and immunotherapy for cancer.

TL;DR: Early studies of adoptive transfer of tumor antigen-loaded DCs have shown promise, however, DC vaccination is at an early stage, and several parameters still need to be established.
