CD1d-Restricted Type II NKT Cells Reactive With Endogenous Hydrophobic Peptides

CD1d-Restricted Type II NKT Cells Reactive With Endogenous Hydrophobic Peptides

NKT cells belong to a distinct subset of T cells that recognize hydrophobic antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecules, such as CD1d. Because NKT cells stimulated by antigens can activate or suppress other immunocompetent cells through an immediate production of a...
