Conserved and Heterogeneous Lipid Antigen Specificities of CD1d-Restricted NKT Cell Receptors
1 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
CD1d-restricted NKT cells use structurally conserved TCRs and recognize both self and foreign glycolipids, but the TCR features that determine these Ag specificities remain unclear. We investigated the TCR structures and lipid Ag recognition properties of five novel Valpha24-negative and 13 canonical Valpha24-positive/Vbeta11-positive human NKT cell clones generated using alpha-galactosylceramide...
