| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is frequently isolated from chronic wounds.NKT cells play an important role in various aspects of the regulation immune responses, including protection against bacterial infections. However, it is not fully understood how this lymphocyte is involved in the host defense against P. aeruginosa wound infection. In the present sudy,we elucidated the role of NKT cells in clearance of P. aeruginosa from the wound. NKT cell-deficient mice showed impaired clearance of P. aeruginosa.
These results indicate that NKT cells may be involved in the clearance of P. aeruginosa from wounds.
