Invariant NKT Cell Defects in Vitamin D Receptor Knockout Mice Prevents Experimental Lung Inflammation

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) deficiency (knockout, KO) results in a failure of mice to generate an airway hyper-reactivity (AHR) response on both the Balb/c and C57BL/6 background. The cause of the failed AHR response is the defective population of iNKT cells in the VDR KO mice since wildtype (WT) iNKT...
