Invariant NKT Cell Lines Derived from the NOD·H2h4 Mouse Enhance Autoimmune Thyroiditis
To study the role of invariant Natural Killer T cell (iNKT) cells in autoimmune thyroiditis, we derived two iNKT cell lines from the spleens of NOD·H2h4 mice, a strain that develops spontaneous autoimmune thyroiditis exacerbated by excess dietary iodine. The two lines were CD1d-restricted and expr...
