CD1D is the

T cells
. CD1d is the only member of the group 2 CD1 molecules.

Biological significance

CD1d-presented lipid antigens activate a special class of T cells, known as

interferon-gamma and interleukin 4
production.

Nomenclature

CD1d is also known as R3G1

Ligands

Some of the known ligands for CD1d are:

  • α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), a compound originally derived from the marine sponge Agelas mauritanius[6] with no physiological role but great research utility.
  • α-
    invariant NKTs
    (iNKTs), a special kind of NKT.
  • iGb3, a self antigen which has been implied in iNKT selection.[8]
  • HS44, a synthetic amino cyclitolic ceramide analogue which has less contact with the TCR, activating iNKTs in a more constrained way than α-GalCer (specially in relation to Th2 cytokines production) and thus being more interesting for therapeutic use.[9]

CD1d tetramers

CD1d

tetramers are protein constructs composed of four CD1d molecules joined together and usually fluorescently labelled, used to identify NKT cells or other CD1d-reactive cells. In particular, type I NKT cells and some type II NKT cells are stained by them. A differentiation of these two types can be obtained in human by using an antibody against the TCR Vα24 chain, which is specific of type I NKT cells.[10]

Although they are the most widely used of CD1d oligomers, sometimes CD1d dimers (two units) or pentamers (five units) are used instead.[10]
