α-Galactosylceramide
α-Galactosylceramide (KRN7000) is a potent synthetic glycolipid agonist of NKT cells, binding CD1d to form a complex recognized by the NKT cell receptor. It is widely used in immunology and oncology research to study NKT cell activation, cytokine responses, and antitumor immunity in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models.
