Lipid Antigens
Lipid antigens are presented to T cells by cell-surface molecules designated CD1 ("cluster of differentiation" 1).
Antigen-presenting cells express several different forms of CD1 at their surface.

Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Some lipids function in long-term energy storage. Animal fat is a lipid that has six times more energy per gram than carbohydrates.
