Discovery of Avian TCRVβ2+ T Cells Recognizing the Endogenous Ganglioside via a chCD1.1‐Dependent Pathway
ABSTRACT This study presents the discovery and first functional characterization of chicken lipid‐reactive Natural Killer T (NKT)‐like cells, resolving a long‐standing knowledge gap in avian immunology. Using purified TCRVβ2+ lymphocytes, we demonstrate through rigorous experiments combining shRNA‐mediated gene silenci...
