Prevention of Autoimmunity by Targeting a Distinct, Noninvariant CD1d-reactive T Cell Population Reactive to Sulfatide
- A. Jahng, I. Maricic, C. Aguilera, S. Cardell, R. Halder, V. Kumar
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 5 April 2004
Class I and class II MHC-restricted T cells specific for proteins present in myelin have been shown to be involved in autoimmunity in the central nervous system (CNS). It is not yet known whether… Expand
Structural basis for CD1d presentation of a sulfatide derived from myelin and its implications for autoimmunity
- D. Zajonc, I. Maricic, +5 authors I. Wilson
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of experimental medicine
- 5 December 2005
Sulfatide derived from the myelin stimulates a distinct population of CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells. Cis-tetracosenoyl sulfatide is one of the immunodominant species in myelin as… Expand
Cross-Regulation between Type I and Type II NKT Cells in Regulating Tumor Immunity: A New Immunoregulatory Axis1
- E. Ambrosino, M. Terabe, +6 authors J. Berzofsky
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Immunology
- 15 October 2007
Negative immunoregulation is a major barrier to successful cancer immunotherapy. The NKT cell is known to be one such regulator. In this study we explored the roles of and interaction between the… Expand
PD-1/PD-L Blockade Prevents Anergy Induction and Enhances the Anti-Tumor Activities of Glycolipid-Activated Invariant NKT Cells1
- V. Parekh, Saif Lalani, +6 authors L. Van Kaer
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of Immunology
- 1 March 2009
Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells recognize glycolipid Ags, such as the marine sponge-derived glycosphingolipid α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer) presented by the CD1d protein. In vivo activation of iNKT cells… Expand
Type II NKT cell-mediated anergy induction in type I NKT cells prevents inflammatory liver disease.
- R. Halder, C. Aguilera, I. Maricic, V. Kumar
- Medicine, Biology
- The Journal of clinical investigation
- 1 August 2007
Because of the paucity of known self lipid-reactive ligands for NKT cells, interactions among distinct NKT cell subsets as well as immune consequences following recognition of self glycolipids have… Expand
Cross‐regulation between distinct natural killer T cell subsets influences immune response to self and foreign antigens
- P. Arrenberg, R. Halder, V. Kumar
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of cellular physiology
- 1 February 2009
Natural killer T (NKT) cells generally recognize lipid‐antigens presented in the context of the MHC class I‐like molecule CD1d. CD1d‐restricted NKT cells consist of two broad subsets: Type I, which… Expand
Mechanisms Involved in Enteropathy Induced by Administration of Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS)
- S. Yamagiwa, Y. Yoshida, +4 authors T. Abo
- Medicine
- Digestive Diseases and Sciences
- 2004
Mice received oral indomethacin (1 mg/mouse) daily for five days. It was found that severe gastroenteropathy (ie, paralytic stomach and necrotic intestine) was induced on the sixth day. Ulcer… Expand
Mini Review: Immune Response to Myelin-Derived Sulfatide and CNS-Demyelination
- R. Halder, A. Jahng, I. Maricic, V. Kumar
- Medicine
- Neurochemical Research
- 1 February 2007
Here we briefly review our understanding of the immune response to myelin-derived glycolipids during an inflammatory autoimmune response in the central nervous system (CNS). We focus primarily on the… Expand
Oligoclonality and innate-like features in the TCR repertoire of type II NKT cells reactive to a β-linked self-glycolipid
- P. Arrenberg, R. Halder, Y. Dai, I. Maricic, V. Kumar
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 1 April 2010
TCR-mediated recognition of β-linked self-glycolipids bound to CD1d is poorly understood. Here, we have characterized the TCR repertoire of a CD1d-restricted type II NKT cell subset reactive to… Expand
Tissue‐specific expansion of NKT and CD5+B cells at the onset of autoimmune disease in (NZB×NZW)F1 mice
- S. R. Morshed, K. Mannoor, +5 authors T. Abo
- Biology, Medicine
- European journal of immunology
- 1 September 2002
Natural killer T (NKT) cells and CD5+B cells were searched for in various immune organs of autoimmune prone (NZB×NZW)F1 (NZB/W F1) mice. The number of lymphocytes increased in the liver, spleen, and… Expand
