Abstract excerpt
NKT cells are primed lymphocytes that rapidly secrete cytokines and can directly kill cancerous cells. Given the critical role NKT cells play in cancer immune surveillance, we sought to investigate the effect of mutations in Brca1, specifically a conditional deletion of exon 11, on type I invariant NKT cell development. We observed a significant reduction in invariant NKT cells in both primary lymphoid and...
