Speculative model of thymic NK T cell development. The model attempts to account for the unusual coreceptor expression pattern of CD1d-dependent NK T cells as a byproduct of mainstream T cell development. The hatched line represents a putative stage where CD4+CD8+ thymocytes become irreversibly committed to the CD4 or CD8 lineage.
