## Abstract NKT cells are key actors at the interface between innate and acquired immunity. Indeed, upon activation by glycolipid antigens, they rapidly secrete both Th1 and Th2 cytokines, which affects the development of later immune responses. Previous studies have shown that NKT cells are essent
