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.
