抄録

<jats:p> Natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes express an invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR) encoded by the V <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> 14 and J <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> 281 gene segments. A glycosylceramide-containing α-anomeric sugar with a longer fatty acyl chain (C <jats:sub>26</jats:sub> ) and sphingosine base (C <jats:sub>18</jats:sub> ) was identified as a ligand for this TCR. Glycosylceramide-mediated proliferative responses of V <jats:sub>α</jats:sub> 14 NKT cells were abrogated by treatment with chloroquine–concanamycin A or by monoclonal antibodies against CD1d/V <jats:sub>β</jats:sub> 8, CD40/CD40L, or B7/CTLA-4/CD28, but not by interference with the function of a transporter-associated protein. Thus, this lymphocyte shares distinct recognition systems with either T or NK cells. </jats:p>
