Differential tumor surveillance by natural killer (NK) and NKT cells

TL;DR: T cell receptor Jα281 gene-targeted mice confirmed a critical function for NKT cells in protection from spontaneous tumors initiated by the chemical carcinogen, methylcholanthrene, which is the first description of an antitumor function in the absence of exogenously administered potent stimulators such as IL-12 or α-galactosylceramide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequential production of interferon-gamma by NK1.1(+) T cells and natural killer cells is essential for the antimetastatic effect of alpha-galactosylceramide.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the sequential production of IFN-gamma by NKT cells and NK cells was absolutely required to reconstitute the antimetastatic activity of alpha-GalCer.
Journal ArticleDOI

NK cells and NKT cells collaborate in host protection from methylcholanthrene-induced fibrosarcoma.

TL;DR: The results indicate that both NK cells and NKT cells are essential and collaborate in natural host immunity against MCA-induced sarcoma.
Journal Article

Sequential production of interferon-gamma by NK1.1( ) T cells and natural killer cells is essential for the antimetastatic effect of alpha-galactosylceramide

TL;DR: In this paper, the antimetastatic effect of the CD1d-binding glycolipid, α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), is mediated by NK1.1+T (NKT) cells; however, the mechanisms behind this process are poorly defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical role for natural killer T cells in immunosurveillance of methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in addition to their importance in tumor immunotherapy induced by IL-12 or α-GalCer, NK T cells can play a critical role in tumor Immunosurveillance, at least against MCA-induced sarcomas, in the absence of exogenous stimulation.
