Costimulatory and coinhibitory signals are important for the maintenance of immune homeostasis both in the steady state and during immune responses. In this study, we explore the relative contributions of these signals to the rapid production of large amounts of cytokines by activated invariant NKT cells (iNKT cells). We find that upon antigenic stimulation, NKT cells rapidly up-regulate programmed death (PD)-1 and induce high levels of PD ligand I and costimulatory molecules on the surface of cognate Ag-presenting dendritic cells an that iNKT cells require a CD28 signal to secrete cytokines in the presence of a PD-1/PD ligand 1 interaction. CD28-deficient NKT cells synthesized but failed to secrete cytokines during activation, and blockade of the PD-1 pathway restored the ability of CD28-deficient NKT cells to secrete cytokines. The opposing functions of CD28 and PD-1 thus tightly regulate the unique effector function iNKT cells. The Journal of Immunology, 2009, 182: 6644-6647.
