The presence of high amount of CD1d proteins on the cell surface of NKT cells gives rise to a novel type of NKT cells. This larger amount of CD1d proteins allows the Cd1d high NKT cells to bind more alpha-galactosylceramide molecules and therefore to can produce greater levels of interleukin-4 and INF-gamma molecules leading to possible therapeutical effects<ref>Rossjohn, J., Pellicci, D.
