T cell receptor with glycolipid antigens presented by CD1d. In this paper, we wish to report a novel series of α-GalCer analogues which were synthesized by incorporation of l-amino acid methyl esters in the C-6' position of glycolipid. The evaluation of these synthetic analogues for their capacities to stimulate iNKT-cells into producing Th1 and Th2 cytokines both in vitro and in vivo indicated that
不变的自然杀伤性T细胞(iNKT细胞)是操纵免疫系统的有希望的靶标,它们的T细胞受体与CD1d呈递的
糖脂抗原结合后,可以迅速释放大量Th1和Th2细胞因子。在本文中,我们希望报道一系列新的α-GalCer类似物,这些类似物是通过在
糖脂的C-6'位掺入1-
氨基酸甲酯合成的。对这些合成类似物在体外和体内刺激iNKT细胞产生Th1和Th2细胞因子的能力的评估表明,它们是有效的CD1d
配体,可以刺激鼠脾细胞释放更高的Th1细胞因子IFN-γ。体外。在体内,Gly-α-GalCer(1)和Lys-α-GalCer(3)表现出比α-GalCer更多的Th1偏向反应,尤其是类似物3在体内与α-GalCer(IFN-γ/ IL-4 = 2.5)相比,对IFN-γ产生的选择性最高(IFN-γ/ IL-4 = 5.32)。这些新颖的α-GalCer类似物可用作有效的X射线晶体探针,以揭示α-GalCer/ C
