Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are glycolipid-specific innate lymphocytes emerging as critical players in the immune response to diverse infections and disease. iNKT cells are activated either through cognate interactions with lipid-loaded antigen-presenting cells, by antigen-independent cytokine-mediated signaling pathways, or a combination of both. While each of these modes of iNKT cell activation play important roles in directing the humoral and cell-mediated immune response, the spatio-temporal nature of these interactions and the cellular requirements for activation are largely undefined. Combining novel in situ confocal imaging of αGalactosylceramide-loaded CD1d tetramer labeling to localize the endogenous iNKT cell population with cytokine reporter mice, we reveal the choreography of early murine splenic iNKT cell activation across diverse settings of glycolipid immunization and systemic infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. We find that iNKT cells consolidate in the marginal zone and require dendritic cells lining the splenic marginal zone for activation following administration of cognate glycolipids and during systemic infection but not following exogenous cytokine administration. While further establishing the importance of cognate iNKT cell interactions with antigen-presenting cells, we also show that non-cognate iNKT-dependent mechanisms are sufficient to mediate effector outcomes such as STAT signaling and DC licensing throughout the entire splenic parenchyma. Collectively, these data provide new insight into how iNKT cells may serve as a natural adjuvant in facilitating adaptive immune responses irrespective of their tissue localization.
