Natural Killer versus “Natural Killer T” (NKT) cells

What is the difference?NKT cells are T cells!

rearrange TcR genes, express an invariant αβ-TcR, require a thymus for development

NK cells are not T cells!

don’t rearrange TcR genes or express CD3 on the cell surface

do not require a thymus

Frequency and distribution of iNKT cells

In mice - <0.5% in blood & peripheral lymph nodes (LN)- 0.5-1% in thymus, spleen, mesenteric LN

- ~20-30% of T cells in liver- CD4+ and CD4-,CD8- subsets

In humans-Typically 10- to 100-fold less abundant-CD4+, CD8+, and CD4-,CD8- subsets

–not prevalent in liver

iNKT cells may play an important role in control of many infections

Human NK Cells - Where do they live?

~5-20% peripheral blood lymphocytes

~5% lymphocytes in spleen, abundant in liver

Low frequency in thymus, bone marrow, uninfected lymph nodes and lymphatics – but increase with infection

>70% of lymphocytes in decidual tissue

NK Cells - What do they do?

Cell mediated-cytotoxicity – natural killing

Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (kill antibody-coated cells via activating Fc receptor CD16)

Early γ-interferon production

Secrete TNFα, LTα, GM-CSF, IL-3, M-CSF, IL-10, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, etc.

Killer Cell Ig-like Receptors (KIR)

Ig superfamily

7-12 functional genes on human chromosome 19q

Extensive allelic polymorphism (907 alleles!) no rearrangement; mono-allelic expression possible

Expressed by subsets of NK cells and memory T cells (mostly CD8+ T cells, but also CD4+ T cells)

Inhibitory KIR2DL recognize HLA-C; KIR3DL recognize HLA-A, -B

Activating KIR - no intrinsic signaling -associate with DAP12 ITAM-adapter protein

“Missing-self” MHC on a cell is not sufficient for an NK cell to attack

NK cells require activating receptors to detect ligands on the target cell to

initiate a response

ILC and NK cells

• ILC – family of innate lymphocytes – rapid cytokine production

• NK cells keep you alive during certain viral infections

• NK cells regulated by inhibitory and activating receptors

• NK receptors are evolving rapidly

• NK cells possess immunological memory
