Macfarlane, and Andrew J. Nicol From the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Australia; Department of Medicine, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia; Departments of Oncology and Nuclear Medicine, Royal Brisbane Hospital, Brisbane, Australia; Yokohama City University School of Medicine, Yokohama, Japan; and Japanese Red Cross, Tokyo, Japan. Human V24+V11+ natural killer T (NKT) cells are a distinct CD1d-restricted lymphoid subset specifically and potently activated by -galactosylceramide (-GalCer) (KRN7000) presented by CD1d on antigen-presenting cells. Preclinical models show that activation of V24+V11+ NKT cells induces effective antitumor immune responses and potentially important secondary immune effects, including activation of conventional T cells and NK cells. We describe the first clinical trial of cancer immune therapy with -GalCer–pulsed CD1d-expressing dendritic cells. The results show that this therapy has substantial, rapid, and highly reproducible specific effects on V24+V11+ NKT cells and provide the first human in vivo evidence that V24+V11+ NKT cell stimulation leads to activation of both innate and acquired immunity, resulting in modulation of NK, T-, and B-cell numbers and increased serum interferon-. We present the first clinical evidence that V24+V11+ NKT cell memory produces faster, more vigorous secondary immune responses by innate and acquired immunity upon restimulation.
