Type II Natural Killer T Cell (Type II NKT Cell)
- Target
- Type II NKT Cell
- Molecular classification
- Lymphocyte, Innate-like Lymphocyte, T Cell Subset
01
Overview
Type II natural killer T (type II NKT) cells represent a functionally versatile population within the broader family of CD1d-restricted lymphocytes. With their unique ability to sense diverse lipids through varied receptors—and rapidly shape immune outcomes—they have emerged as important regulators at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity across health and disease contexts.
