This functional analysis showed how at least three human CD1 isoforms can present sulphatide antigens to T cells. By highlighting how different CD1 proteins can present the same ligand, these data raise questions about the isoform specificity of antigen recognition.

This paper describes the first crystal structure of a CD1 protein bound to lipid ligands, which showed that the carbohydrate and polyalcohol moieties of the GM2 ganglioside and PtdIns protrude from the groove and lie on the TCR contact surface. The complex interconnected nature of the antigen-binding pockets in CD1b resembles a 'maze' for alkyl chains.

The reported crystal structure of CD1a bound to sulphatide shows that the narrow A′ pocket can bind alkyl chains with a discrete length, so the A′ pocket of CD1a can be thought of as a 'ruler' for alkyl chains.
