The V{alpha}14 NKT Cell TCR Exhibits High-Affinity Binding to a Glycolipid/CD1d Complex1

Most CD1d-dependent NKT cells in mice have a canonical V{alpha}14J{alpha}18 TCR rearrangement. However, relatively little is known concerning the molecular basis for their reactivity to glycolipid Ags presented by CD1d. Using glycolipid Ags, soluble forms of a V{alpha}14 NKT cell-derived TCR, and mutant and wild-type CD1d molecules, we probed the TCR/CD1d interaction by surface plasmon resonance, tetramer equilibrium staining, and tetramer staining decay experiments. By these methods, several CD1d {alpha}-helical amino acids could be defined that do not greatly alter lipid binding, but that affect the interaction with the TCR. Binding of the V{alpha}14+ TCR to CD1d requires the agonist {alpha}-galactosylceramide ({alpha}-GalCer), as opposed to the nonantigenic {beta}-galactosylceramide, although both Ags bind to CD1d, indicating that the carbohydrate moiety of the CD1d-bound Ag plays a major role in the TCR interaction. The TCR has a relatively high-affinity binding to the {alpha}-GalCer/CD1d complex, with a particularly slow off rate. These unique properties are consistent with the coreceptor-independent action of the V{alpha}14 TCR and may be related to the intense response to {alpha}-GalCer by NKT cells in vivo.
