NK T cells recognize glycolipid Ags such as {alpha}-galactosylceramide ({alpha}-GalCer) presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. In this paper we have studied the in vivo effects of {alpha}-GalCer on the generation of adaptive immune responses. Treatment of mice with {alpha}-GalCer resulted in rapid activation of NK T cells and production of the cytokines IL-4 and IFN-{gamma}. However, after this initial stimulation, NK T cells became polarized for the production of IL-4. Further, as soon as 6 days after {alpha}-GalCer injection, a marked increase in serum IgE levels was observed. Administration of {alpha}-GalCer at the time of priming of mice with protein Ag resulted in the generation of Ag-specific Th2 cells and a profound increase in the production of IgE. Collectively, these findings indicate that {alpha}-GalCer may be useful for modulating immune responses toward a Th2 phenotype during prophylaxis and therapy.
