Natural Killer T cells
by Terabe, Masaki, Berzofsky, Jay A.
fromCancer Drug Discovery and Development
This book will cover primary roles of NKT cells in immunity to cancer, in both mouse tumor models and cancer patients. There are several chapters describing general aspects of NKT cells.
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are CD1d-restricted T cells that respond to lipid, not protein, antigens presented by CD1d, which is a non-classical MHC class I-like molecule.¡ This relatively small but pivotal T cell population bridges the gap between innate and adaptive immunity …
