“…CD1 molecules present lipid antigens to T cells, and CD1d, the only CD1 molecule found in mice, is required for the development a unique subset of T cells known as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells (2,3). Unlike CD1 molecules, most MHC Ib molecules present peptide antigens to CD8 + T cells, and have been demonstrated to be involved in the immune response to a number of pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (4-6), CMV (7), Salmonella enterica (8), Listeria monocytogenes (LM) (9)(10)(11), and Chlamydia pneumoniae (12).…”
