[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CD1D1_MOUSE CD1D1_MOUSE]] Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self glycolipids and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells.<ref>PMID:11754812</ref> <ref>PMID:16314439</ref> <ref>PMID:16007091</ref>  [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/B2MG_MOUSE B2MG_MOUSE]] Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are divided into type I and type II subsets on the basis of differences in their T cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoire and CD1d-antigen specificity. Although the mode by which type I NKT cell TCRs recognize CD1d-antigen has been established, how type II NKT cell TCRs engage CD1d-antigen is unknown. Here we provide a basis for how a type II NKT cell TCR, XV19, recognized CD1d-sulfatide. The XV19 TCR bound orthogonally above the A' pocket of CD1d, in contrast to the parallel docking of type I NKT cell TCRs over the F' pocket of CD1d. At the XV19 TCR-CD1d-sulfatide interface, the TCRalpha and TCRbeta chains sat centrally on CD1d, where the malleable CDR3 loops dominated interactions with CD1d-sulfatide. Accordingly, we highlight the diverse mechanisms by which NKT cell TCRs can bind CD1d and account for the distinct antigen specificity of type II NKT cells.
