요약 | Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are composed of at least three functionally distinct subsets, NKT1, NKT2 and NKT17. Through selective activation of these three iNKT effector subsets, iNKT cells can modulate immune responses and tissue homeostasis in different fashions. However, the developmental steps that drive iNKT cells into functional distinct subsets have not been elucidated, and thus their potential to be utilized in anti-cancer or autoimmune immunotherapies has not been realized, despite the fact that iNKT stimulatory lipids are well-tolerated in human trials. My dissertation research aims to fill this knowledge gap by investigating the following aspects of iNKT biology: 1) characterizing the multipotent progenitor for the iNKT effector subsets (in chapter 2) |
