摘要: Natural killer T (NKT) cells are that also express NK cell markers. Unlike conventional recognize peptide antigens, NKT lipids. CD1d, a MHC class I-like molecule, presents lipid antigens to cells. Upon activation, secrete both Th1 and Th2 cytokines, linking the innate adaptive immune response. Due heterogeneity of cells, their roles in system mixed controversial. Here, we summarize current knowledge as antitumor effector control CD1d+ CD1d− tumors model systems. Overall, exhibit remarkable broad range activities show great potential for immunotherapy.
