Mechanisms of Antiphospholipid Syndrome Induction: Role of NKT Cells

The review discusses the mechanisms of participation of natural killer T cells (NKT cells) in the induction of antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) that play a major pathogenetic role in the formation of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), summarizes the data on APS pathogenesis, and presents modern conce...
