The Role of Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer—A Phenotypical and Functional Approach

27 Feb 2018

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of CD1d-restricted T cells at the interface between the innate and adaptive immune system. NKT cells can be subdivided into functional subsets that respond rapidly to a wide variety of glycolipids and stress-related proteins using T- or NK cell-like effector mechanisms. Because of their major modulating effects on immune responses via secretion of cytokines, NKT cells are...
