Invariant Natural Killer T cell (iNK Tcell) have an innate immunity-like rapidity of response and the capacity to modulate effector functions of other cells. We show that the BTB-ZF transcriptional regulator, PLZF, is specifically expressed in iNKT cells. iNKT cells develop in the absence of PLZF, but lack many innate T cell features. PLZF deficient iNKT cells accumulate in the lymph nodes rather than in the liver and do not have an activated phenotype or express NK markers. PLZF deficient iNKT cells do not secrete high levels of IL-4 and IFNγ upon activation, however some cells produce either IL-4 or IFNγ, but not both. PLZF, therefore, is an iNKT cell specific transcription factor that is necessary for full functionality.
