Journal ArticleDOI

CD1: antigen presentation and T cell function.

TL;DR: The function of CD1-restricted T cells in antimicrobial responses, antitumor immunity, and in regulating the balance between tolerance and autoimmunity is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invariant natural killer T cells: an innate activation scheme linked to diverse effector functions

TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding of the innate-like mechanisms underlying iNKT cell activation are discussed and how lipid antigens, the inflammatory milieu and interactions with other immune cell subsets regulate the functions of iN KT cells in health and disease are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanism of CD1d-restricted natural killer T cell activation during microbial infection

TL;DR: This data support a model in which NKT cells use a unique activation mechanism not requiring their recognition of microbial antigens, and propose this mechanism of activation as a major pathway responsible for the rapid activation of N KT cells in different microbial infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein-mediated pathways of lipid antigen presentation

TL;DR: The immune system has co-opted a component of lipid metabolism to develop immunological responses to lipid antigens, and this work defines the pathways mediating markedly efficient exogenous lipid antigen delivery by apolipoproteins to achieve T-cell activation.
