Crohn's-associated invariant T cells (CAITs) recognise small sulfonate molecules on CD1d

In  the  recent  study  by  Rosati  et  al,  we described  a  novel  unconventional  T  cell population  enriched  in  the  peripheral blood of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and  characterised  by  a  semi- invariant  Tcell receptor (TCR) repertoire. 1  However, the specificity of these Crohn’s- associated invariant T (CAIT) cells was not defined.
Identifying the specificity of CAIT cells is essential  to  understand  the  origin  of  the antigen triggering their enrichment in CD.
