19+ Natural Killer T Cells US. Natural killer t cells are a heterogeneous group of t cells that share properties of both t cells and natural killer cells. Many of these cells recognize.
Nkt cells express a highly restricted repertoire of t cell receptors that recognize glycolipid antigens. Describe the activation of naive t cells by exogenous antigen by cross presentation and dendritic cell licensing. The tcr on nkt cells is unique in that it recognizes glycolipid antigens presented by the mhc.
At the innate killer summit, held last month in san diego.
Natural killer t cells are a heterogeneous group of t cells that share properties of both t cells and natural killer cells. They detect when a cell is 'stressed' before antibodies can identify an infected cell. Nk cells are produced in the bone marrow, lymph nodes. Natural killer (nk) cells may be cytotoxic.
