Human V 24+V 11+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 V 24+V 11+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 V 24+V 11+NKT cells and provide the first human in vivo evidence that V 24+V 11+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 V 24+V 11+NKT cell memory produces faster, more vigorous secondary immune responses by innate and acquired immunity upon restimulation.
