摘要:

自然杀伤T(NKT)细胞是一种同时具有T细胞与NK细胞表面标志的固有免疫细胞。NKT细胞活化后分泌的细胞因子具有影响适应性免疫的性质,是联系固有免疫和适应性免疫的桥梁之一,参与抗感染、肿瘤免疫、自身免疫病等过程。NKT细胞在寄生虫感染的免疫过程中也发挥着承接固有免疫与适应性免疫的重要作用,但目前对该领域的研究相对较少。本文主要对NKT细胞在利什曼原虫、疟原虫、锥虫和血吸虫感染免疫中作用的研究进展进行综述。

Abstract:

Natural killer T(NKT) cells are a type of innate immune cells that express both T cell and NK cell surface markers. The cytokines secreted by NKT cells upon activation possess some properties that affect the adaptive immunity, thus bridging innate and adaptive immunity and playing important roles in anti-infection processes, tumor immunity and autoimmune diseases. NKT cells also play an important role in bridging innate and adaptive immunity during immune responses to parasitic infections. However, little research has been conducted in this field. In this article, the roles of NKT cells in immune responses to Leishmania, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and Schistosoma infections are reviewed.

Key words: Parasite infection, Natural killer T cells, Immunity
