Research Abstract |
We analyzed the activation of the natural lymphocytes and the function of the hepatic lymphocyte on hepatitis. We found that hepatic NK cells activated strongly than other NK cells. This finding indicated hepatic natural lymphocytes had unique immunoresponses. In α-galactocylceramide-mediated hepatic injury, NKT cell promoted B-1 cell activation and autoantibody production. NKT cells also suppressed zymosan A-mediated granuloma formation in the liver.
