The pro-Th2 cytokine IL-33 directly interacts with invariant NKT and NK cells to induce IFN-gamma production

Published in European Journal of Immunology
IL-33 has recently been identified as a cytokine endowed with pro-Th2 functions, raising the question of its effect on invariant natural killer T cell (iNKT), which are potent IL-4 producers. Here, we report a two-fold increase of iNKT-cell counts in spleen and liver after a 7-day treatment of mice with IL-33, which results from a direct effect, gi...
