immune system
N |
• peripheral NKT cells exhibit normal cell proliferation
|
• impaired Ly49C/I+ NKT cell differentiation
|
• fewer mature NKT cells at stage 3 in the thymus
• fewer NKT cells that produce IFN-gamma and IL4 or IFN-gamma alone
• fewer NKT cells expressing inhibitory Ly49 receptors
• fewer NKT cells from bone marrow cells used to reconstitute irradiated wild-type mice
• fewer peripheral NK1.1lo NKT cells
• however, mice exhibit normal numbers of NKT cells producing IFN-gamma alone
|
• in antigen activated NKT cells
• in NKT cells from mice after infection with MCMV
|
• NKT cells from mice after infection with MCMV produce more interferon-gamma compared with cells from wild-type mice
• however, the clearance of MCMV infection is normal
