## Abstract ## Background Tumor antigen presentation by dendritic cells (DCs) to T cells in lymphoid organs is crucial for induction of antitumor immune responses. Fmsโlike tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3L) is a regulator of hematopoietic cell development. ## Methods To investigate the potential
## Abstract Brain tumors carry a poor prognosis, and newer approaches to their therapy are urgently needed. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are distinct innate lymphocytes with antitumor potentials. Defects in NKT cell function have been observed in patients with other forms of cancer. Here we show th
## Abstract Natural killer T (NKT) cells generally recognize lipidโantigens presented in the context of the MHC class Iโlike molecule CD1d. CD1dโrestricted NKT cells consist of two broad subsets: Type I, which express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and type II, which utilize diverse TCR gene se
