Term Information

Accession: GO:0051132
Name: NK T cell activation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: NK T lymphocyte activation, NK T-cell activation, NK T-lymphocyte activation, NKT cell activation, NT cell activation, natural T cell activation, natural killer T cell activation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The change in morphology and behavior of a mature or immature natural killer T cell resulting from exposure to a mitogen, cytokine, chemokine, cellular ligand, or an antigen for which it is specific. Source: PMID:9133426, ISBN:0781735149, PMID:12154375
Comment: Note that NK T cells are a distinct lineage of T cells expressing natural killer cell markers and having T cell receptors characterized by the usage of a restricted repetoire of variable region gene segments.
