Mycoketide: A CD1c-Presented Antigen with Important Implications in Mycobacterial Infection by Isamu Matsunaga, Masahiko Sugita

“…It has recently been established that a fraction of the cell wall lipid components of mycobacteria can function as antigens targeted by the acquired immunity of the host. Human group 1 CD1 molecules (CD1a, CD1b, and CD1c) bind a pool of lipid antigens expressed by mycobacteria and present them to specific T cells, thereby mediating an effective pathway for host defense against tuberculosis. …”
