immune system
• NK T cells numbers are decreased in the thymus
• alpha-beta NK T cells are virtually absent in the thymus while there is a six-fold increase in gamma-delta NK T cells
• these gamma-delta NK T cells have similar NK markers as their alpha-beta counterparts except most are CD4-
|
• the expression of FcgRIII is increased on NK cells
|
• NK cells secrete increased amounts of IFN-gamma relative to controls in response to immobilized IgG
|
• Ab-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity by NK cells is enhanced in these mice
• cytolytic activity against NK target cells is normal
|
• NK cells secrete increased amounts of IFN-gamma relative to controls in response to immobilized IgG
