The role of intrahepatic CD8+ T cell trapping and NK1.1+ cells in liver-mediated immune regulation.

Unlabelled: The liver was previously suggested as a site of lymphocyte clearance. Liver-associated lymphocytes that express NK1.1 marker (NKT LAL) play a role in immune modulation.

Adoptive transfer of ex vivo immune-programmed NKT lymphocytes alleviates immune-mediated colitis.

T lymphocyte-expressing natural killer (NK) cell markers (NKT cells) play a role in immune regulation. Our aim was to evaluate the in vivo effect of adoptive transfer of immune-programmed NKT cells. Colitis was induced in C57/B6 mice by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid.
