14+ NKT cells are a specialized CD1-reactive T cell subset implicated in innate and adaptive immunity. We assessed whether V14+ NKT cells participated in the immune response against enteric Listeria monocytogenes infection in vivo. Using CD1d tetramers loaded with the synthetic lipid -galactosylceramide (CD1d/GC), we found that splenic and hepatic V14+ NKT cells in C57BL/6 mice were early producers of IFN-
(but not IL-4) after L. monocytogenes infection. Adoptive transfer of V14+ NKT cells derived from TCR° V14-J18 transgenic (TCR°V14Tg) mice into alymphoid Rag°c° mice demonstrated that V14+ NKT cells were capable of providing early protection against enteric L. monocytogenes infection with systemic production of IFN- and reduction of the bacterial burden in the liver and spleen. Rechallenge experiments demonstrated that previously immunized wild-type and J18° mice, but not TCR° or TCR°V14Tg mice, were able to mount adaptive responses to L. monocytogenes. These data demonstrate that V14+ NKT cells are able to participate in the early response against enteric L. monocytogenes through amplification of IFN- production, but are not essential for, nor capable of, mediating memory responses required to sterilize the host.
