Porcine Invariant Natural Killer T Cells: Functional Profiling and Dynamics in Steady State and Viral Infections

Porcine Invariant Natural Killer T Cells: Functional Profiling and Dynamics in Steady State and Viral Infections

Pigs are important livestock and comprehensive understanding of their immune responses in infections is critical to improve vaccines and therapies. Moreover, similarities between human and swine physiology suggest that pigs are a superior animal model for immunological studies. However, paucity of e...
