Altered Lipid Tumor Environment and Its Potential Effects on NKT Cell Function in Tumor Immunity

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are CD1d restricted T cells that mostly recognize lipid antigens. These cells share characteristics with both adaptive and innate immune cells and have multiple immunoregulatory roles. In a manner similar to innate immune cells, they respond quickly to stimuli and secret...
