1	16505600	iNKT cells are a unique subset of CD1-restricted T lymphocytes that express T cell receptor (TCR) and some NK receptors. iNKT cells express an invariant TCRalpha chain composed of Valpha14-Jalpha18 segments in mice and Valpha24-Jalpha18 segments in humans associated with TCRbeta chains using a restricted set of Vbeta. iNKT cells recognize glycolipid antigens such as alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GC) presented by CD1d, non-pormorphic MHC class I-like molecule, and rapidly secrete large amounts of cytokines including IL-4 and IFN-gamma upon activation.
