This book will cover primary roles of NKT cells in immunity to cancer, in both mouse tumor models and cancer patients. There are several chapters describing general aspects of NKT cells.
From the reviews: "This book is essentially a collection of reviews that introduce the reader to the wonderful world of iNKT cells, and how their powerful adjuvant properties are being utilised by different researchers. ... this book is worth reading whether you are a new student in the NKT field and want to learn more or whether you are a clinician with an interest in tumour immunology." (Salah Mansour, Immunology News, November, 2012)
