NKT cells, especially iNKT cells, may play a key role in autoimmune diseases. Researchers summarized the results of NKT-oriented studies in major neurological autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome.
NKT cells comprise three subsets-type I (invariant, iNKT), type II, and NKT-like cells, of which iNKT cells are the most studied subset. They are capable of rapid cytokine production after the initial stimulus, thus they may be important for polarisation of Th cells. Due to this, they may be an important cell subset in autoimmune diseases. In the current review, we are summarising results of NKT-oriented studies in major neurological autoimmune diseases-multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome and their corresponding animal models.
