Invariant NKT (iNKT) cells are innate-like lymphocytes with a T-cell receptor recognizing glycolipid antigens presented by CD1 molecules and expressing the NK1.1 marker.
A type of innate-like lymphocyte that carries a T-cell receptor with an invariant α chain and a β chain of limited diversity that recognizes glycolipid antigens presented by CD1 MHC class Ib molecules. This cell type also carries the surface marker NK1.1, which is usually associated with NK cells
