Natural killer T cells: know thyself.
T here are two main reasons why natural killer T (NKT) cells fascinate immunologists. First, they exhibit a unique mélange of properties found in innate immune cells as well as the properties of conventional T cells, part of adaptive immunity (1–4). Second, NKT cells exercise a determining influence on a variety of immune responses in mice, ranging from autoimmunity to their response to tumors ...
متن کاملKnow thyself.
This article is part of a For-Discussion-Section of Methods of Information in Medicine on "Biomedical Informatics: We Are What We Publish" written by Peter L. Elkin, Steven H. Brown, and Graham Wright. It is introduced by this editorial and followed by a commentary paper with invited comments. In their paper, P. Elkin et al. attempt to define the fields of Medical Informatics and Bioinformatics...
متن کاملKnow Thyself.
Self-knowledge has never been a central topic; in empirical psychology. There are pockets of research on self-knowledge in different subdisciplines of the field, but until now there has been little communication between them. I believe that these areas will converge in the next few years into a cohesive study of how people form judgments about their past, current, and future selves and about th...
متن کاملInvariant Natural Killer T Cells
Invariant Natural killer T cell (iNKT cells) are a subset of T cells, which are narrowly defined as a T cell lineage expressing a semi-invariant CD1d-restricted T cell Receptors (TCRs) composed by Vα24-Jα18/Vβ11 in human, and Vα14-Jα18/Vβ8,Vβ7, and Vβ2 in mouse. Unlike conventional T cells which recognize peptides bound to highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II...
متن کاملComparison of Two Flow Cytometric Methods for Detection of Human Invariant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT)
Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods f...
