Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) are a subset of innate-like T cells that are activated by uracil ligands presented by MR1. For the first time, we demonstrate that changes to the 6-aminoalkyl chain on uracil agonist 5-OP-RU can determine agonistic or antagonistic MAIT cell activity. Insomuch, a simplified agonist with a functional profile similar to 5-OP-RU, and a new structural class of antagonist that exhibits similar activity to known MAIT cell antagonist Ac-6-FP, were identified.
