Three broad classes of ligands recognized by TCRs: peptides, lipids, and vitamin metabolites. Examples of each class of ligands are shown. Peptides from MCMV and flagellin are presented by MHC class I or class II to classical αβ T cells, respectively. Vitamin metabolites are presented to MAIT cells by MR1. The lipids, α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer) and dideoxymycobactins presented to NKT cells and CD1a-restricted T cells, respectively.
