Domain on the Avidity of CD1d:
-Galactosylceramide Binding by Invariant V
14 NKT Cells1

CD1d tetramers loaded with
-galactosylceramide (
-GalCer) bind selectively to mouse invariant V
14 (V
14i) NKT cells and their human counterparts. Whereas tetramer binding strictly depends on the expression of a V
14-J
18 chain in murine NKT cells, the associated
-chain (typically expressing V
8.2 or V
7) appears not to influence tetramer binding. In this study, we describe novel
-GalCer-loaded mouse and human CD1d-IgG1 dimers, which revealed an unexpected influence of the TCR-
chain on the avidity of CD1d:
-GalCer binding. A subset of V
14i NKT cells clearly discriminated
-GalCer bound to mouse or human CD1d on the basis of avidity differences conferred by the V
domain of the TCR-
chain, with V
8.2 conferring higher avidity binding than V
7.
