Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Protein Is Required for Homeostasis and Function of Invariant NKT Cells
1 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
NKT cells comprise a separate T lineage expressing semi-invariant T cell receptors. Canonical invariant NKT (iNKT) cells specifically recognize lipid Ags presented by CD1d, a MHC class I-like molecule. iNKT cells function, in part, as initial responders to bacterial infection and play a role in immune surveillance and tumor rejection. The Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASp) serves as a crucial link between...
