Recognition of microbial glycolipids by Natural Killer T cells
T cells can recognize microbial antigens when presented by dedicated antigen-presenting molecules. While peptides are presented by classical members of the Major Histocompatibility (MHC) family (MHC I and II), lipids, glycolipids and lipopeptides can be presented by the non-classical MHC member CD1....
