3TVM - PubMed Abstract: 
Natural killer T (NKT) cells recognize glycolipids presented by CD1d. The first antigen described, α-galactosyl ceramide (αGalCer), is a potential anticancer agent whose activity depends upon IFN-γ secretion. We report two analogs of αGalCer based on a naturally occurring glycosphingolipid, plakoside A ...
