lüll Glycolipids as immunostimulating agents Wu D; Fujio M; Wong CHBioorg Med Chem 2008[Feb]; 16 (3): 1073-83The processing and presentation of lipid antigens by antigen presenting cells (APC) is important for defense against infection, tumor immunosurveillance, and autoimmunity. CD1, a family of cell surface glycoproteins, is responsible for the binding and presentation of lipid antigens to receptors expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes. Among the several (glyco)lipids identified to cause T-cell stimulation in complex with CD1, alpha-galactosyl ceramide (alpha-GalCer) is one of the most well studied. A combination of structure-activity relationship (SAR), crystallographic studies, and discovery of new 'natural' antigens has led to greater understanding of the structural requirements for optimal natural killer T-cell activation.|Animals[MESH]|Antigens, CD1/immunology[MESH]|Galactosylceramides/chemistry/immunology[MESH]|Glycolipids/*chemistry/*immunology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunoassay[MESH]|Models, Immunological[MESH] |
