immune system
• the only T cells present in the mice express a transgenic alpha chain that is associated with NK T cells
• Valpha 14 NK T cells are not present in these mice
• 30% of mononuclear cells in the liver are transgenic NK T cells
|
• NK T cells respond to alpha-GalCer, a ligand normally associated with Valpha14 NK T cell activation
• the NK T cells are also reactive to alpha-ManCer
