DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.13488
Abstract: Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of T cells that perform innate‐like immunity functions upon recognition of small molecule vitamin B metabolites presented by the MHC, class I‐related protein‐1 (MR1). MAIT cells are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00281-019-00740-9
Abstract: Invariant and semi-invariant T cells are emerging as important regulators of host environment interactions at barrier tissues such as the airway and skin. In contrast to conventional T cells, invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2019.08.050
Abstract: Summary MAIT cells are an unconventional T cell population that can be activated through both TCR-dependent and TCR-independent mechanisms. Here, we examined the impact of combinations of TCR-dependent and TCR-independent signals in human CD8+ MAIT… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2019.08.054
Abstract: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells can be activated via either their T cell receptor (TCR), which recognizes MR1-bound pyrimidines derived from microbial riboflavin biosynthesis, or via cytokines. These two modes of activation may act in concert… read more here.

Abstract: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an evolutionarily conserved T cell subset, which reacts to most bacteria through T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated recognition of metabolites derived from the vitamin B2 biosynthetic pathway. Microbiota-derived signals affect all stages… read more here.
