Inhibition of endocytic lipid antigen presentation by common lipophilic environmental pollutants

Abstract Environmental pollutants as non-heritable factors are now recognized as triggers for multiple human inflammatory diseases involving T cells. We postulated that lipid antigen presentation mediated by cluster of differentiation 1 (CD1) proteins for T cell activation is susceptible to lipophil...
