MAIT Cells Suppress IgE‐Mediated Asthma via IFNγ‐Dependent B Cell Regulation

Allergy, EarlyView.
In this study, we demonstrate that MAIT cell antagonism during sensitization and challenge with HDM worsens the development of airway hyperreactivity without effects on type 2 or 17 associated cytokine production or lung inflammation. Rather, MAIT cells appear to regulate HDM‐induced asthma through direct inhibition of IgE production.
