c-Myb primes CD4(+)CD8(+) immature thymocytes for selection into the iNKT lineage
Type I invariant NKT cells (iNKT) are a subset of αβ T cells characterized by the expression of an invariant Vα14-Jα18 TCRα chain. iNKT cells derive from CD4(+)CD8(+) double positive thymocytes (DP), and their generation requires a long DP thymocyte half-life, to allow for Vα14-Jα18 rearrangements,...
