Non-classical Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules are non-polymorphic proteins implicated in both innate and adaptive immune responses.1,2 While classical MHCs present antigens to CD8+/CD4+ cells for further immune processing, non-classical MHCs also mediate activation or inhibition in natural killer (NK) cells.3 MBL
CD1d
CD1d molecules are non-polymorphic MHC class I-like proteins. These are a type of non-classical MHCs. They present phospholipid and glycosphingolipid antigens to invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells, a subset of CD1d-restricted T cells. This axis is involved in the
