name: NK T cell differentiation
namespace: biological_process
def: "The process in which a precursor cell type acquires the specialized features of a NK T cell." [GOC:add, ISBN:0781735149, PMID:10704459]
comment: Note that NK T cells are a distinct lineage of T cells expressing natural killer cell markers and having T cell receptors characterized by the usage of a restricted repertoire of variable region gene segments. Note that immunologists typically use the word 'development' to refer to cells of B or T cell lineages undergoing the process that GO describes as 'cell differentiation'.
