Lipid antigens in immunity. [PDF]

open access: yesBiol Chem, 2014
Abstract Lipids are not only a central part of human metabolism but also play diverse and critical roles in the immune system. As such, they can act as ligands of lipid-activated nuclear receptors, control inflammatory signaling through bioactive lipids such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, lipoxins, resolvins, and protectins, and ...

Lipase Processing of Complex Lipid Antigens [PDF]

open access: yesCell Chemical Biology, 2016
Mycobacterium tuberculosis synthesizes a wide variety of complex lipids that can serve as antigens in immune recognition of the bacterium. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Gilleron et al. (2016) identify key enzymes essential for lipid antigen processing, which is required for CD1b-restricted T cell activation.

Type II Natural Killer T Cells Contribute to Protection Against Systemic Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteremia is responsible for over 10,000 deaths in the hospital setting each year. Both conventional CD4+ T cells and γδ T cells play protective roles in SA infection through secretion of IFN-γ and IL-17.

Lipoproteins act as vehicles for lipid antigen delivery and activation of invariant natural killer T cells

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells act at the interface between lipid metabolism and immunity because of their restriction to lipid antigens presented on CD1d by antigen-presenting cells (APCs).

Structural Dynamics of the Lipid Antigen-Binding Site of CD1d Protein

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
CD1 molecules present lipid antigens to T-cells in early stages of immune responses. Whereas CD1‒lipid‒T-cell receptors interactions are reasonably understood, molecular details on initial trafficking and loading of lipids onto CD1 proteins are less ...

Antigenic heterogeneity of lipid A of Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1985
The chemical structure and biologic function of the lipid A portion of lipopolysaccharide are not identical among gram-negative bacteria. This study indicates that antigenically heterogeneous lipid A exists among strains of Haemophilus influenzae. An immunoglobulin G3 murine monoclonal antibody, 3D2, produced against a nontypable H.

Tumor Lipids of Pediatric Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Stimulate Unconventional T Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a rare entity in children with no established therapy protocols for advanced diseases. Immunotherapy is emerging as an important therapeutic tool for childhood cancer.

Presentation of Lipid Antigens by CD1 Glycoproteins [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Pharmaceutical Design, 2009
CD1 molecules are a family of non-polymorphic, class I antigen-presenting glycoproteins, which bind and present amphiphilic lipid antigens for recognition to T cells. Two groups of CD1 molecules are involved in presentation of self and foreign lipid antigens: group 1 (CD1a, CD1b and CD1c) and group 2 (CD1d). Crystal structures of CD1a, CD1b and CD1d in
