Journal ArticleDOI

The natural killer T-cell ligand alpha-galactosylceramide prevents autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice.

TL;DR: It is shown that α-GalCer prevents development of diabetes in wild-type but not CD1d-deficient NOD mice, and this findings indicate thatα- GalCer might be useful for therapeutic intervention in human diseases characterized by Th1-mediated pathology such as Type 1 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prolonged IFN-gamma-producing NKT response induced with alpha-galactosylceramide-loaded DCs.

TL;DR: Natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes mediate a rapid reaction to the glycolipid drug α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer), which triggers release of large amounts of cytokines into the serum within 12 h, starting with interleukin 4 (IL-4).
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Genetic Polymorphisms on Human Immune Cell Gene Expression.

TL;DR: The DICE project identified cis-eQTLs for a total of 12,254 unique genes, which represent 61% of all protein-coding genes expressed in these cell types and found that biological sex is associated with major differences in immune cell gene expression in a highly cell-specific manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

The unique role of natural killer T cells in the response to microorganisms

TL;DR: Natural killer T (NKT) cells combine features of the innate and adaptive immune systems and respond to innate cytokines produced by dendritic cells that have been activated by microbes.
Journal ArticleDOI

NKT cells derive from double-positive thymocytes that are positively selected by CD1d

TL;DR: It is shown here that immature double-positive (DP) thymocytes form the canonical rearranged Vα gene of NKT cells at nearly equivalent frequencies in the presence or absence of CD1d expression, confirming the existence of a DP intermediate forCD1d-reactive N KT cells.
