CUTTING EDGE

Cutting Edge: Influence of the TCR V{beta} Domain on the Avidity of CD1d:{alpha}-Galactosylceramide Binding by Invariant V{alpha}14 NKT Cells1

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