CD1d-independent regulation of NKT cell migration and cytokine production upon Listeria monocytogenes infection
V Arrunategui-Correa, L Lenz, HS Kim - Cellular immunology, 2004 - Elsevier
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique T-cell population that is positively selected by CD1d-
expressing cells. In this study, we examined the kinetics of conventional CD4+ TCRβ+ and
CD4− TCRβ+ cells along with various NKT cell populations from WT and CD1d KO mice
after oral Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) infection at different time points in tissue
compartments. We found that CD4+ TCRβ+ cells expressing NK1. 1+(NKT) were
constitutively expressed in the lung of both strains of mice, but disappeared after infection. In …
