Clinical immunology (Orlando, Fla.), 140(2), 130-141 (2010-12-21)
For over a century, research has sought ways to boost the immune system in order to eradicate tumors and viruses that exist after escaping immunosurveillance. For the treatment of cancer and hepatitis immunotherapeutic strategies have overall had limited clinical success.

The Journal of organic chemistry, 76(1), 320-323 (2010-12-16)
A concise route to the 6-azido-6-deoxy-α-galactosyl-phytosphingosine derivative 9 is reported. Orthogonal protection of the two amino groups allows elaboration of 9 into a range of 6-N-derivatized α-galactosyl ceramides by late-stage introduction of the acyl chain of the ceramide and the

β-Adrenergic receptor (βAR) signaling regulates many physiological processes, including immune system responses. There is growing evidence also for βAR-induced modulation of cancer growth and metastasis. In the Eμ-myc mouse model of B-cell lymphoma, we investigated the effects of chronically elevated

Natural killer T (iNKT) cells can help mediate immune surveillance against tumors in mice. Prior studies targeting human iNKT cells were limited to therapy of advanced cancer and led to only modest activation of innate immunity. Clinical myeloma is preceded
Esther Dawen Yu et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 287(2), 1269-1278 (2011-11-24)
Natural killer T (NKT) cells express a semi-invariant Vα14 T cell receptor (TCR) and recognize structurally diverse antigens presented by the antigen-presenting molecule CD1d that range from phosphoglycerolipids to α- and β-anomeric glycosphingolipids, as well as microbial α-glycosyl diacylglycerolipids.
