Upon activation,<unk> s are able to produce large quantities of interferon gamma, IL-4, and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, as well as multiple other cytokines and chemokines (such as IL-2, IL-13, IL-17, IL-21, and TNF-alpha).<unk> s recognize protected microbial lipid agents which are presented by CD1d-expressing antigen presenting cells. This serves as a pathway for<unk> s to fight against infections and enhance the humoral immunity. The<unk> s provide support and help to B cells which act as a microbial defense and aid in targeting for B-cell vaccines.
