Murine invariant natural killer T cells recognize glycolipids derived from extracts of the lichen Stereocaulon ramulosum

Background: Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT ) can be activated by certain types of glycolipids that have the potential to generate adjuvant effects which could be used to develop effective and safe immunotherapies. Many of these glycolipids have been isolated from natural organisms, but ther...
