Atypical natural killer T-cell receptor recognition of CD1d–lipid antigens

The invariant αβTCR of type I NKT cells recognizes a lipid α-GalCer presented by CD1d. Here the authors describe atypical α-GalCer-reactive NKT cells with diverse TCRs, which bind to CD1d-α-GalCer in a manner distinct from type I NKT cells, thus unveiling greater diversity in lipid antigen recogniti...
