Distinct Roles of Dendritic Cells and B Cells in Va14Ja18 Natural T Cell Activation In Vivo

Abstract: Va14Ja18 natural T (iNKT) cells are innate, immunoregulatory lymphocytes that recognize CD1d-restricted lipid Ags such as α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer). The immunoregulatory functions of iNKT cells are dependent upon either IFN-γ or IL-4 production by these cells. We hypothesized that αGalCer presentation by different CD1d-positive cell types elicits distinct iNKT cell functions. In this study we report that dendritic cells (DC) play a critical role in αGalCer-mediated activation of iNKT cells and subsequent … Show more

“…7c). Inhibitory effects of B cells on the activation of iNKT cells were proposed as an explanation of the ineffectiveness of B cells as APCs for iNKT cells (16). To determine whether B cells inhibit the activation of iNKT cells, B cells were loaded with a high concentration (100 ng/ml) of ␣GalCer (␣GalCer/B cells).…”
