## Abstract Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells regulate the Tβhelper (Th) 1/2 balance and elicit either enhancement or suppression of the immune responses. However, the exact mechanism by which iNKT cells exert these contrasting functions has remained elusive. We demonstrate herein that two ma
Immunity to microbes depends on the function of numerous cell types and their products. These include T cells with regulatory function (Treg) against the components of the immune system. Recently, there has been much discussion regarding the circumstances in which protective or tissuedamaging T cell
Dendritic cells (DC) initiate T cell responses and direct the class of T cell immunity through the production of Th-polarizing cytokines. In the mouse, immunization with CD8alpha(+) DC has led to Th1 priming whereas immunization with CD8alpha(-) DC has been associated with Th2 induction. Here, we us
