Journal ArticleDOI

Reciprocal TH17 and regulatory T cell differentiation mediated by retinoic acid.

TL;DR: The vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid is identified as a key regulator of TGF-β–dependent immune responses, capable of inhibiting the IL-6–driven induction of proinflammatory TH17 cells and promoting anti-inflammatory Treg cell differentiation, indicating that a common metabolite can regulate the balance between pro- and anti- inflammatory immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

NKT cells: what's in a name?

TL;DR: This perspective article seeks to clarify which cells fall under the NKT-cell umbrella, and which might be best considered as separate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward an understanding of NKT cell biology: progress and paradoxes.

TL;DR: The activation of NKT cells paradoxically can lead either to suppression or stimulation of immune responses, and one cannot predict which will occur, and many investigators are hopeful that immune therapies can be developed based on NKT cell stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of bacterial glycosphingolipids by natural killer T cells

TL;DR: It is shown that most mouse and human NKT cells recognize glycosphingolipids from Sphingomonas, Gram-negative bacteria that do not contain lipopolysaccharide, and that these cells might be useful in providing protection from bacteria that cannot be detected by pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracking the response of natural killer T cells to a glycolipid antigen using CD1d tetramers.

TL;DR: It is shown that tetramers of mouse CD1d loaded with α-GalCer are a sensitive and highly specific reagent for identifying Vα14+ NK T cells and that α- GalCer–specific T lymphocytes are more widely distributed than was previously appreciated.
