Abstract
- Fungal cell wall polysaccharides are potent inducers of immune responses. demonstrate that innate recognition of fungal β-(1,3) glucan triggers effector functions of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells through indirect, cytokine-driven activation, a process that mediates optimal protection against the opportunistic mold Aspergillus fumigatus.
