Human CD1 is a family of nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I-like molecules capable of presenting mycobacterial lipids, including lipoarabinomannan (LAM), to double-negative (DN; CD4⁻ CD8⁻) as well as CD8⁺ T cells. Structural similarities between LAM and the capsular polysaccharides of gram-negative bacteria led us to consider the latter as candidate CD1 ligands. We derived two CD1-restricted DN T-cell populations which proliferated to Haemophilus influenzaetype b (Hib) antigen. One T-cell population also proliferated to proteinase K-treated Hib antigen, suggesting that it recognized a nonpeptide. Our work thus expands the universe of T cell antigens to include nonpeptides distinct from mycobacterial lipids and suggests a potential role for CD1-restricted T cells in immunity to Hib.
