Role of sulfatide-reactive vNKT cells in promoting lung Treg cells via dendritic cell modulation in asthma models.

Our previous studies have showed that sulfatide-reactive type II NKT (i.e. variant NKT, vNKT) cells inhibit the immunogenic maturation during the development of mature lung dendritic cells (LDCs), leading todeclined allergic airway inflammation in asthma.
