T cells may recognize glycolipids and lipids of bacterial and self origin associated with the CD1 antigen-presenting molecules. Understanding the mechanisms governing CD1-self glycolipid interaction will provide information on the molecular rules of glycolipid presentation and suggest new approaches to immunotherapy
