RESUMO
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that play a crucial role in the tumor surveillance. The activation of iNKT cells by their specific ligand α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) induces the activation of dendritic cells (DCs) via reciprocal interaction, which results in the generation of cellular immunity against cancer. Here we describe a method to detect DC-mediated cellular adjuvant properties of human iNKT cells in vitro.
