Gene expression profiling of Human C2 and C1 iNKT cell subset. Gene expression profiling of Human C2 and C1 iNKT cell subset

We identified two novel subsets of iNKT cells in mouse, C2 iNKT cells (the circulating subset) and C1 iNKT cells (the tissue-resident subset). Here, we characterized the cells of these two subsets in human peripheral blood. Overall design: Two hundred cells of each subset of iNKT cells were sorted from the peripheral blood of human.
