CD1d tetramer staining to show CD1d-restriction of iNKT cells. Flow cytometry was used to determine the percentage of tetramer positive cells from the homogeneous population of CD4⁺DX5⁺ iNKT cells. (a) Surface phenotype showing CD4⁺DX5⁺ of line 2D11. (b) Tetramer positive cells represented under M2 gate showing 88.8 % CD1d tetramer positive cells.
