receptors, whereas cells of the adaptive immune system recognize pathogens through …

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are an unusual subset of innate immune cells that express a
surface receptor generated by somatic DNA rearrangement, a hallmark of cells of the …

Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that share surface markers and
