N2 - MHC molecules typically bind peptides to create ligands for the T cell antigen receptor. In this issue of Cell, Cobb et al. (2004) report an unexpected association of class II MHC molecules with processed zwitterionic polysaccharides from pathogenic bacteria. The complexes appear to modulate the T cell dependent pathology of abscess formation.
