Conserved T cell receptor usage underpins recognition of CD1c presenting a mycobacterial lipid
2026-06-22
Abstract excerpt
The mechanism by which T cell receptors (TCR) recognise mycobacterial lipids presented by CD1 family members not well understood. We used CD1c tetramers loaded with the mycobacterial phosphomycoketide (PM) or mannosyl-PM (MPM) to isolate T cells ex vivo in healthy blood donors and in individuals from a tuberculosis (TB)-endemic region of South Africa, with higher frequencies observed in individuals from the TB-en...
