The ligands that can be presented by CD1d to NKT or other CD1d-restricted T cells are very specific, because the recognition is based on an hydrophobic interaction between the ligand and the CD1d molecule. Thus, it limits the risk of other similar molecules or binding CD1d proteins and ensures that the immune response is accurate. Among these molecules are included glycolipids from a marine sponge, bacterial glycolipids, normal endogenous glycolipids, tumor-derived phospholipids and glycolipids, and nonlipidic molecules<ref name="Immunity">Brutkiewicz, R.
