CUTTING EDGE

Cutting Edge: NKT Cell Development Is Selectively Impaired in Fyn- Deficient Mice

Gérard Eberl1, Bente Lowin-Kropf and H. Robson MacDonald

Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Lausanne Branch, University of Lausanne, Epalinges, Switzerland

Most NK1.1+ T (NKT) cells express a biased TCR{alpha}ß repertoire that is positively selected by the monomorphic MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. The development of CD1d-dependent NKT cells is thymus dependent but, in contrast to conventional T cells, requires positive selection by cells of hemopoietic origin. Here, we show that the Src protein tyrosine kinase Fyn is required for development of CD1d-dependent NKT cells but not for the development of conventional T cells. In contrast, another Src kinase, Lck, is required for the development of both NKT and T cells. Impaired NKT cell development in Fyn-deficient mice cannot be rescued by transgenic expression of CD8, which is believed to increase the avidity of CD1d recognition by NKT cells. Taken together, our data reveal a selective and nonredundant role for Fyn in NKT cell development.
