چکیده
As you can see, the referees find the study interesting and suitable for publication in the EMBO Journal. They raise some issues, mostly minor ones, with the analysis that should not involve too much additional work to address. The most significant one is raised by referee #3 who would like to see the inclusion of KD measurements to look at the binding affinities between glycolipids and mCD1. Given the comments provided, I would like to invite you to submit a suitably revised manuscript for our consideration. When preparing your letter of response to the referees' comments, please bear in mind that this will form part of the Review Process File, and will therefore be available online to the community.

Galactose-modified iNKT cell agonists stabilized by an induced fit of CD1d prevent tumour metastasis.
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are known to have marked immunomodulatory capacity due to their ability to produce copious amounts of effector cytokines. Here, we report the structure and function of a novel class of aromatic α-galactosylceramide structurally related glycolipids with marked Th1 bias in both mice and men, leading to superior tumour protection in vivo. The strength of the...
متن کاملThe Vα14 invariant natural killer T cell TCR forces microbial glycolipids and CD1d into a conserved binding mode
Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) rapidly produce effector cytokines. In this study, we report the first crystal structures of the iNKT cell T cell receptor (TCR) bound to two natural, microbial glycolipids presented by CD1d. Binding of the TCR induced CDR3-α-dependent structural changes in the F' roof of CD1d; these changes resemble those occurring in the absence of TCR engagement ...
متن کاملiNKT cell cytotoxic responses control T-lymphoma growth in vitro and in vivo .
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells comprise a lineage of CD1d-restricted glycolipid-reactive T lymphocytes with important roles in host immunity to cancer. iNKT cells indirectly participate in antitumor responses by inducing dendritic cell maturation and producing cytokines that promote tumor clearance by CD8+ T and NK cells. Although iNKT cells thereby act as potent cellular adjuvants, it...
متن کاملSynthesis of C-5″ and C-6″-modified α-GalCer analogues as iNKT-cell agonists.
Alpha-galactosyl ceramide (α-GalCer) is a prototypical synthetic ligand of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. Upon presentation by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, this glycolipid stimulates iNKT cells to secrete a vast amount of both pro-inflammatory Th1 and anti-inflammatory Th2 cytokines. Recently, we discovered that selected 6″-modified α-GalCer analogues may produce markedly Th1-b...
متن کاملAmide Analogues of CD1d Agonists Modulate iNKT-Cell-Mediated Cytokine Production
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are restricted by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-like protein, CD1d, and activated following presentation of lipid antigens bound to CD1d molecules. The prototypical iNKT cell agonist is α-galactosyl ceramide (α-GalCer). CD1d-mediated activation of iNKT cells by this molecule results in the rapid secretion of a range of pro-inflammatory (Th1) and regulat...
