Tracking the Response of Natural Killer T Cells to a Glycolipid Antigen Using Cd1d Tetramers
A major group of natural killer (NK) T cells express an invariant Valpha14(+) T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the lipoglycan alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer), which is presented by CD1d. These cells may have an important immune regulatory function, but an understanding of their biology has been hampered by the lack of suitable reagents for tracking them in vivo. Here we show that tetr...
متن کاملCD1d-restricted Recognition of Synthetic Glycolipid Antigens by Human Natural Killer T Cells
A conserved subset of mature circulating T cells in humans expresses an invariant Valpha24-JalphaQ T cell receptor (TCR)-alpha chain rearrangement and several natural killer (NK) locus-encoded C-type lectins. These human T cells appear to be precise homologues of the subset of NK1.1(+) TCR-alpha/beta+ T cells, often referred to as NK T cells, which was initially identified in mice. Here we show...
متن کاملGlycolipid antigen induces long-term natural killer T cell anergy in mice.
Natural killer T (NKT) cells recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the MHC class I-related glycoprotein CD1d. The in vivo dynamics of the NKT cell population in response to glycolipid activation remain poorly understood. Here, we show that a single administration of the synthetic glycolipid alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) induces long-term NKT cell unresponsiveness in mice. NKT cel...
متن کاملAtypical natural killer T-cell receptor recognition of CD1d-lipid antigens.
Crucial to Natural Killer T (NKT) cell function is the interaction between their T-cell receptor (TCR) and CD1d-antigen complex. However, the diversity of the NKT cell repertoire and the ensuing interactions with CD1d-antigen remain unclear. We describe an atypical population of CD1d-α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer)-reactive human NKT cells that differ markedly from the prototypical TRAV10-TRAJ1...
متن کاملLysophospholipid presentation by CD1d and recognition by a human Natural Killer T-cell receptor.
Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells use highly restricted αβ T cell receptors (TCRs) to probe the repertoire of lipids presented by CD1d molecules. Here, we describe our studies of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) presentation by human CD1d and its recognition by a native, LPC-specific iNKT TCR. Human CD1d presenting LPC adopts an altered conformation from that of CD1d presenting glycolipid an...
