Description: An alpha-beta T cell expressing NK cell markers that is CD1d restricted and expresses specific V-alpha chains. NK T cells of this type recognize the glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide in the context of CD1d.

Synonyms: classical NK T cell, type I NK T lymphocyte, type I NK T-cell, type I NK T-lymphocyte, type I NKT cell, invariant NK T cell
