Journal ArticleDOI
CD1d-restricted and TCR-mediated activation of valpha14 NKT cells by glycosylceramides.

TL;DR: Glycosylceramide-mediated proliferative responses of Valpha14 NKT cells were abrogated by treatment with chloroquine-concanamycin A or by monoclonal antibodies against CD1d/Vbeta8, CD40/CD40L, or B7/CTLA-4/CD28, but not by interference with the function of a transporter-associated protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Requirement for Vα14 NKT Cells in IL-12-Mediated Rejection of Tumors
Junqing Cui,Tahiro Shin,Tetsu Kawano,Hiroshi Sato,Eisuke Kondo,Isao Toura,Yoshikatsu Kaneko,Haruhiko Koseki,Masamoto Kanno,Masaru Taniguchi +9 more
TL;DR: The Vα14 NKT cell–deficient mice could no longer mediate the interleukin-12 (IL-12)–induced rejection of tumors, and they mediated their cytotoxicity by an NK-like effector mechanism after activation with IL-12.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural killer-like nonspecific tumor cell lysis mediated by specific ligand-activated Vα14 NKT cells
Tetsu Kawano,Junqing Cui,Yasuhiko Koezuka,Isao Toura,Yoshikatsu Kaneko,Hiroshi Sato,Eisuke Kondo,Michishige Harada,Haruhiko Koseki,Toshinori Nakayama,Yujiro Tanaka,Masaru Taniguchi +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ligand-activated Valpha14 NKT cells kill tumor cells directly through a CD1d/Valpha14 T cell receptor-independent, NK-like mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of decidual Vα14 NKT cells in abortion
Katsura Ito,Mika Karasawa,Tetsu Kawano,Takeshi Akasaka,Haruhiko Koseki,Yasunori Akutsu,Eisuke Kondo,Souei Sekiya,Kenji Sekikawa,Michishige Harada,Masakatsu Yamashita,Toshinori Nakayama,Masaru Taniguchi +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that a distinct subset of lymphocytes, Vα14 NKT cells expressing an invariant antigen receptor encoded by V α14/Jα281 and Vβ7 segments, accumulated in the decidua during pregnancy and provoked abortion upon stimulation with α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), a specific ligand for V β7 segments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential requirement of an invariant V alpha 14 T cell antigen receptor expression in the development of natural killer T cells
Masaru Taniguchi,Haruhiko Koseki,Takeshi Tokuhisa,Kimio Masuda,Hiroshi Sato,Eisuke Kondo,Tetsu Kawano,Junqing Cui,Alysia Perkes,Shigeo Koyasu,Yasuhiko Makino +10 more
TL;DR: Expression of the invariant V alpha 14/J alpha 281, but not V alpha 1, TCR in transgenic mice lacking endogenous TCR alpha expression blocks the development of conventional T alpha beta cells and leads to the preferential development of Valpha 14 NK T cells, suggesting a prerequisite role of invariant T cell antigen receptor alpha chain (TCR alpha) in NK T cell development.
