[HTML][HTML] Biochemical characterization of CD1d expression in the absence of β2-microglobulin
CD1d is a major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecule that exhibits a distinct
antigen processing pathway that functions in the presentation of hydrophobic antigens to T
cells. CD1d has been previously shown to be expressed on the cell surface of human
intestinal epithelial cell lines in vivo and a transfected cell line in vitro independently of β 2-
microglobulin (β 2 m). To define the relationship between CD1d and β 2 m and characterize
the biochemical structure of CD1d in the absence of β 2 m, we have used a newly generated …
