Abstract
Mouse V alpha 14 T cells and their human homalogs, V alpha 24 T cells, are prominent subsets of CD1d-restricted T cells. Here we discuss their strikin g similarities to B-1 B cells and gamma delta T cells and propose that thes e immune cells mediate various innate strategies in response to endogenous or exogenous danger signals.
