The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The biology of NKT cells. (2007, background): “However, rather than provide their own NKT ligands like Sphingomonas or Ehrlichia, these bacteria appear to trigger autoreactive NKT cell responses (23, 60).”
Recognition of bacterial glycosphingolipids by natural killer T cells (2005, methodology): “cAMP, Dpd crosslinks, creatinine urinary values, carboxy-terminal telopeptides of type-I collagen (CTX), leptin, insulin and PTH serum levels were measured using commercial kits.”
Going both ways: immune regulation via CD1d-dependent NKT cells. (2004, background): “tion with CD1d-mediated presentation of autologous ligands, induced in response to infection (114).”
Ion Channels in Innate and Adaptive Immunity (2015, background): “iNKT cells express an invariant TCR that recognizes lipids derived from pathogens or self-lipids produced by APCs (136, 137).”
