T-cell activation by transitory neo-antigens derived from distinct microbial pathways

TL;DR: It is shown that MAIT-cell activation requires key genes encoding enzymes that form 5-amino-6-d-ribitylaminouracil (5-A-RU), an early intermediate in bacterial riboflavin synthesis, and MR1 is able to capture, stabilize and present chemically unstable pyrimidine intermediates, which otherwise convert to lumazines, as potent antigens to MAIT cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recognition of CD1d-restricted antigens by natural killer T cells

TL;DR: This Review focuses on the defining features and emerging generalities regarding how NKT cells specifically recognize self, microbial and synthetic lipid-based antigens that are presented by CD1d.
