Current opinion in immunology, 52, 87–92. doi:10.1016/j.coi.2018.04.021https://hdl.handle.net/1805/20571Many reviews on the CD1d/NKT cell axis focus on the ability of CD1d-restricted NKT cells to serve as effector cells in a variety of disorders, be they infectious diseases, cancer or autoimmunity. In contrast, here, we discuss the ways that viruses, bacteria and tumor cells can evade the CD1d/NKT cell axis. As a result, these disease states have a better chance to establish a foothold and potentially cause problems for the subsequent adaptive immune response, as the host tries to rid itself of infections or tumors.en-USPublisher PolicyAntigens, CD1dHost-pathogen interactionsNatural Killer T-CellsNeoplasmsVirus diseasesArticle
