Invariant Natura Killer T lymphocytes (iNKT) are immune cells that recognize lipid antigens compexed into CD1D molecules. Alpha-GalactosylCeramide (a-GalCer) is the most studied agonist, with main feature being the capacity to rapidly induce secretion of several cytokines. This ability to potentiate immune responses has been demonstrated in different clinical and experimental studies. Alt…
