Description
The ability to detect and isolate bGL1-22/LGL1specific human type II NKT cells allowed us to compare the global gene expression profiles of these cells with type I NKT cells using microarray analysis. Principal component analysis revealed that the gene expression profile signature for bGL1-22 and LGL1-specific T cells both before and after activation with anti-CD3/CD28 beads is distinct from that of type I NKT cells.
