Human CD1-restricted T cell recognition of lipids from pollens
Plant pollens are an important source of environmental antigens that stimulate allergic responses. In addition to acting as vehicles for foreign protein antigens, they contain lipids that incorporate saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, which are necessary in the reproduction of higher plants. The CD1 family of nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex-related molecules is highly conser...
متن کاملEditorial: CD1- and MR1-Restricted T Cells in Antimicrobial Immunity
The main function of the immune system is to protect the host against microbial pathogens and their deleterious products. Innate defense mechanisms quickly eliminate infectious intruders or keep them in check until highly specific adaptive responses that also give rise to immunological memory are launched. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted T cells are key players of adaptive imm...
متن کاملCD1-restricted adaptive immune responses to Mycobacteria in human group 1 CD1 transgenic mice
Group 1 CD1 (CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c)-restricted T cells recognize mycobacterial lipid antigens and are found at higher frequencies in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-infected individuals. However, their role and dynamics during infection remain unknown because of the lack of a suitable small animal model. We have generated human group 1 CD1 transgenic (hCD1Tg) mice that express all three human g...
متن کاملMouse CD1-autoreactive T cells have diverse patterns of reactivity to CD1+ targets.
Humans and mice contain significant populations of T cells that are reactive for autologous CD1 molecules. Using a panel of five mouse CD1 (mCD1)-autoreactive T cell hybridomas, we show here that this autoreactivity does not correlate with the level of CD1 expression. In some cases, these autoreactive T cells can distinguish between different cell types that express the same CD1 molecule, sugge...
متن کاملThe bovine CD1 family contains group 1 CD1 proteins, but no functional CD1d.
The CD1 family of proteins presents lipid Ags to T cells. Human CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c have been shown in humans to present mycobacterial lipid Ags. Cattle, like humans, are a natural host of several mycobacterial pathogens. In this study, we describe the CD1 family of genes in cattle (Bos taurus) and provide evidence that B. taurus expresses CD1a, CD1e, and multiple CD1b molecules, but no CD1c a...
