摘要
NKT cells, naive CD4(+) T cells, and TCR-gamma delta T cells belong to distinct T cell lineages but all express T cell receptors generated through random combinatorial joining of V-(D)-J genes. These distinct lineage T cells also possess the property of promptly activating the IL-4 gene upon T cell receptor stimulation. A comparative accounting of features as they pertain to IL-4 inducibility in these three distinct lineage T cells is provided here.
