Main iNKT cell subsets in mice: transcriptional programs, surface markers, cytokine production, and frequency.
| | Transcriptional factors | Surface markers | Cytokine production | Frequency |
| NKT1 | T-bet | NK1.1 | IFN-γ | Most frequent subset | GATA-3 | IL-17RB− | IL-4 | PLZF− | IL-15Rα+ | | Id2+ | CD4+/− | |
| NKT2 | T-bet | NK1.1− | IL-4 | More common in the lung | GATA-3 | IL-17RB+ | IL-13 | PLZF | CD4+ | | Id3+ | | |
| NKT17 | RORγt+ | NK1.1− | IL-17 | Mainly present in the lung, lymph nodes, and skin | PLZF | IL-17RB+ | IL-22 | | CD4− | |
