Figure 1 Surface expression of syndecan-1 specifically identifies Natural killer T 17 cells. The three functional subsets are currently distinguished from one another by intracellular staining for specific signature transcription factor or cytokine. Surface expression of SDC-1 can now be used for visualization and sorting of viable NKT17 cells. NKT: Natural killer T; SDC-1: Syndecan-1; IFN: Interferon; IL: Interleukin.
