A comparison of the transcriptional profiles of DP CD24highCD44lowNK1.1-CD1d-tet+TCRa+ cells (i.e. very immature NKT cells) with those of more mature NKT cell subsets
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Type 1 NKT cells play a critical role in controlling the strength and character of adaptive and innate immune responses. Their functional characteristics are distinct from conventional T cells, and are induced by a transcriptional program initiated by positive selection on CD4+CD8+ (double positive, DP) thymocytes. Here we examined transcriptional events in four immature thymic NKT cell subsets in a novel Vα14 TCR transgenic strain bearing greatly expanded numbers of CD24+CD44- NKT cells. We used a transcriptional regulatory network approach to map TCR validation to the transition from DP T to DP NKT cells, and positive selection and lineage commitment to the transition from DP NKT to CD4 NKT
