Abstract excerpt
Glycolipid-reactive Valpha24(+) invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells have been implicated in regulating a variety of immune responses and in the induction of immunologic tolerance. Activation of iNKT cells requires interaction with professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells (DCs). We have investigated the capacity of distinct DC subsets to modulate iNKT cell functions. We demonstrate that...
