Abstract excerpt
Although activation of mouse natural killer T (NKT) cells by α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) causes failure of multiple organs, including the kidneys, the precise mechanisms underlying kidney injury remain unclear. Here, we showed that α-GalCer-activated mouse NKT cells injured both kidney vascular endothelial cells and tubular epithelial cells in vitro, causing acute kidney injury (AKI) with hematuria in...
