Development and function of invariant natural killer T cells producing T(h)2- and T(h)17-cytokines.

Development and function of invariant natural killer T cells producing T(h)2- and T(h)17-cytokines.

There is heterogeneity in invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells based on the expression of CD4 and the IL-17 receptor B (IL-17RB), a receptor for IL-25 which is a key factor in T(H)2 immunity. However, the development pathway and precise function of these iNKT cell subtypes remain unknown. IL-17RB...
