Figure 1. The presence of iNKT cells promotes proliferation following in vitro co-culture with conventional T cells and stimulators.

Figure 1

TEa T cells (CD4+Vα2+) and iNKT cells (CD5+CD1d-PBS57+) were purified by cell sorting (A). MLR were carried out using TEa T cells and iNKT cells cultured alone, or with irradiated stimulators (BALB/cxB6F1) or together, and proliferation determined on day 3 (B). In addition iNKT cells were sorted and then irradiated and co-cultured with TEa T cells and stimulators (B). The data is presented as the mean of triplicate cultures ± s.d. of one experiment. *p=<0.05. Data is representative of >3 independent experiments.
