diseases, providing in most cases protection against infection. NKT cells are reactive to
CD1d presented glycolipid antigens. They can modulate immune responses by promoting
the secretion of type 1, type 2, or immune regulatory cytokines. Pathogen-derived signals to
dendritic cells mediated via Toll like Receptors (TLR) can be modulated by activated
invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells. The terminal β-(1–4)-galactose residues of glycans …
