Invariant natural killer T cells are preserved in patients with glioma and exhibit antitumor lytic activity following dendritic cell‐mediated expansion
3 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Brain tumors carry a poor prognosis, and newer approaches to their therapy are urgently needed. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are distinct innate lymphocytes with antitumor potentials. Defects in NKT cell function have been observed in patients with other forms of cancer. Here we show that both the frequency and interferon-gamma-producing function of NKT cells are well preserved in adult patients with glioma (n=9)...
