Benzofuran sulfonates and small self-lipid antigens activate type II NKT cells via CD1d

C. F. Almeida, D. Smith, T.-Y. Cheng, C. Harpur, E. Batleska, T. Nguyen, T. Hilmenyuk, C. V. Nguyen-Robertson, S. J. Reddiex, I. Van Rhijn, J. Rossjohn, A. P. Uldrich, B. Moody, S. J. Williams, D. G. Pellicci, D. I. Godfrey

This study identifies benzofuran sulfonates and small self-lipid antigens as activators of type II NKT cells via CD1d, revealing non-lipidic small molecules that trigger CD1d-restricted NKT cell responses.

MAIT cells contribute to protection against lethal influenza infection in vivo

B. van Wilgenburg, L. Loh, Z. Chen, T. J. Pediongco, H. Wang, M. Shi, Z. Zhao, M. Koutsakos, S. Nussing, S. Sant, Z. Wang, C. D'Souza, C. F. Almeida, L. Kostenko, S. B. Eckle, , T. Hinks

This study shows MAIT cells protect against lethal influenza infection by accumulating and being activated early, with their absence increasing mortality in mice.
