Glycolipid Antigen Processing for Presentation by CD1d Molecules

Theodore I. Prigozy,1 Olga Naidenko,1 Pankaj Qasba,2 Dirk Elewaut,1 Laurent Brossay,1* Archana Khurana,1 Takenori Natori,3 Yasuhiko Koezuka,3 Ashok Kulkarni,4 Mitchell Kronenberg1dagger

The requirement for processing glycolipid antigens in T cell recognition was examined with mouse CD1d-mediated responses to glycosphingolipids (GSLs). Although some disaccharide GSL antigens can be recognized without processing, the responses to three other antigens, including the disaccharide GSL Gal(alpha 1rightarrow 2)GalCer (Gal, galactose; GalCer, galactosylceramide), required removal of the terminal sugars to permit interaction with the T cell receptor. A lysosomal enzyme, alpha -galactosidase A, was responsible for the processing of Gal(alpha 1rightarrow 2)GalCer to generate the antigenic monosaccharide epitope. These data demonstrate a carbohydrate antigen processing system analogous to that used for peptides and an ability of T cells to recognize processed fragments of complex glycolipids.
