Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) Cells Prevent Autoimmunity, but Induce Pulmonary Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis

Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) Cells Prevent Autoimmunity, but Induce Pulmonary Inflammation in Cystic Fibrosis

Background/Aims: Inflammation is a major and critical component of the lung pathology in the hereditary disease cystic fibrosis. The molecular mechanisms of chronic inflammation in cystic fibrosis require definition. Methods: We used several genetic mouse models to test a role of iNKT cells and cera...
