Abstract
The NK1.1 antigen defines a subset of T cells that produce high titers of cytokines and express a restricted repertoire of T-cell receptors. Here, Alain Vicari and Albert Zlotnik discuss the characteristics of NK1.1(+) T cells that distinguish them from the mainstream CD4(+) help er or CD8(+) cytotoxic families of T cells. It appears that NK1.1(+) T cells may play major roles in the regulation of some immune responses .
