Molecular Recognition of Lipid Antigens by T Cell Receptors
The T cell antigen receptor (TCR) mediates recognition of peptide antigens bound in the groove of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. This dual recognition is mediated by the complementarity-determining residue (CDR) loops of the alpha and beta chains of a single TCR which contact exposed residues of the peptide antigen and amino acids along the MHC alpha helices. The recent descr...
متن کاملNatural killer T cell recognition of lipid antigens
Natural killer T cells recognize lipid antigens in the context of CD1 molecules. Recent publications show that this mode of recognition differs substantially from that of classic T-cell receptor peptide-major histocompatibility complex interaction.
متن کاملRecognition of Microbial Glycolipids by Natural Killer T Cells
T cells can recognize microbial antigens when presented by dedicated antigen-presenting molecules. While peptides are presented by classical members of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) family (MHC I and II), lipids, glycolipids, and lipopeptides can be presented by the non-classical MHC member, CD1. The best studied subset of lipid-reactive T cells are type I natural killer T (iNKT) c...
متن کاملRecognition of microbial and mammalian phospholipid antigens by NKT cells with diverse TCRs.
CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells include two major subgroups. The most widely studied are Vα14Jα18(+) invariant NKT (iNKT) cells that recognize the prototypical α-galactosylceramide antigen, whereas the other major group uses diverse T-cell receptor (TCR) α-and β-chains, does not recognize α-galactosylceramide, and is referred to as diverse NKT (dNKT) cells. dNKT cells play importan...
متن کاملSelf recognition by T cells. I. Bystander killing of target cells bearing syngeneic MHC antigens
Activated CTL can kill any cell to which they bind or by which they are bound. This observation has been used to determine whether alloreactive CTL can recognize cells bearing self-MHC. When activated by their specific targets, 19 CTL clones of 4 different specificities and origins killed bystander targets bearing syngeneic but not third-party MHC antigens. Using target cells derived from MHC-r...
