摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a more effective composition for activating an NKT (natural killer T) cell. PSOLUTION: The composition for activating the NKT cell contains a sphingoglycolipid having a structure represented by formula (1) [wherein, RSP1/SPis a group represented by formula (1-1) (wherein, RSP3/SPis an alkyl group or an alkenyl group; and RSP4/SPis an alkyl group), RSP2/SPis hydrogen atom or a group comprising a combination of an -galactose group, an -glucose group and an -mannose group].
