Development of potential immunomodulatory ligands targeting natural killer T cells inspired by gut symbiont-derived glycolipids

Abstract α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) is a prototypical antigen recognized by natural killer T (NKT) cells, a subset of T cells crucial for immune regulation. Despite its significance, the complex structure-activity relationship of α-GalCer and its analogs remains poorly understood, particularly...
