## Abstract Generation of immune responses against B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B‐CLL) has been the aim of several studies that have demonstrated a poor antigen presenting ability of B‐CLL cells and an inconsistent emergence of T cells capable of killing efficiently the leukemic cells. CD1d
