CD1 molecules present both self lipids and microbial lipids. Recent studies have elucidated novel antigenic structures that can be presented by CD1 for T cell stimulation, as well as new pathways for lipid-antigen presentation. Additionally, the development of lipid-CD1 tetramers now permits the tracking of CD1-reactive T cells during immune responses. Despite this, the roles of CD1-reactive T cells in both host defense and immune regulation remain to be unequivocally defined.
CD1分子可呈递自身脂质和微生物脂质。最近的研究阐明了可由CD1呈递以刺激T细胞的新型抗原结构,以及脂质抗原呈递的新途径。此外,脂质-CD1四聚体的研发使得在免疫反应期间能够追踪CD1反应性T细胞。尽管如此,CD1反应性T细胞在宿主防御和免疫调节中的作用仍有待明确界定。
