Abstract
There is provided a novel means of assaying an immune function. That is a means for assaying an immune function where a CD3CD161/Vα24Vβ11 ratio is used as an index.
Claims8
(amended) A means for assaying a immune function using a dominance of CD3CD161 in a CD3CD161/Vα24Vβ11 ratio for NKT cells as an index.
(cancelled)

(amended) A method for screening a novel carcinostatic agent where CD3CD161 and Vα24Vβ11 are assayed for NKT cells and the fact that the ratio thereof is in a direction of working an immune system in which CD3CD161 mainly acts is used as an index.
