Investigation of trypanothione reductase as a drug target in Trypanosoma brucei.

abstract：:Based on the crystal structures of human alpha-GalCer-CD1d and iNKT-alpha-GalCer-CD1d complexes, nonglycosidic analogues of alpha-GalCer were synthesized. They activate iNKT cells resulting in dendritic cell maturation and the priming of antigen-specific T and B cells. Therefore, they are attractive adjuvants in vacci...
