Abstract excerpt
Overwhelming infection remains the leading cause of death from serious burn injury despite recent advances in the care of burn patients and a better understanding of immune and inflammatory consequences of injury. In this study, we report a critical requirement for CD1d-restricted NKT cells and CD1d expression by APCs in the immune dysfunction that occurs early after burn injury. Using a well-established murine...
