Does anybody know if NKT like-gdT cells do exist in humans? If they do, is there any marker?

20 March 2013 0 269 Report

In mice NKT like-gdT cells have been described, they express an invariant gdTCR, the transcription factor PLZF and usually NK1.1

I was wondering if this population exists in humans.

I read PLZF is not a good marker for these cells in humans as all gd T cells express it.
