Effects of Dyslipidemia on Invariant Natural Killer T Cell Activation
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a specialized subset of immune regulatory cells that recognize glycolipid antigens and are thought to be pro-atherogenic under hyperlipidemic conditions. We previously reported that hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice have decreased iN...
