MAIT Cell Activation by Fungal Pathogens
2019MAIT cells can recognize and respond to several pathogens in a distinct manner. However, many studies are focused on activation by bacteria and by viruses, while reports about molds and MAIT cells are rare. Here, we describe a method to investigate MAIT cell interaction with filamentous fungi from Aspergillus and Mucorales species.

Unconventional MAIT cell responses to bacterial infections
Seminars in Immunology, 2022Mucosal Associated Invariant T cells (MAIT) exert potent antimicrobial activity through direct recognition of metabolite-MR1 complexes and indirect activation by inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, via licensing of antigen presenting cells, MAIT cells orchestrate humoral and cellular adaptive immunity. Our recent understanding of molecular mechanisms

Fighting Liver Metastasis by Activating MAIT Cells
Cancer Immunology Research, 2021Abstract In this issue, Ruf and colleagues show that antigen stimulation of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in the presence of the TLR9 ligand CpG decreases intrahepatic tumor growth, suggesting that MAIT cells could be used as an antitumor tool.

MAIT Cells in Health and Disease
2019Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a newly described subset of T cells that are found in the blood and are enriched in many tissues, particularly in the liver. MAIT cells express a semi-invariant T cell receptor restricted by the MHC class I-related (MR1) molecule. MAIT cells are activated in a MR1-dependent manner in response to microbial-

AbstractIn humans, MAIT cells represent the most abundant T‐cell subset reacting against bacteria. MAIT cells belong to the evolutionarily conserved family of “preset” T cells that includes also NKT cells. Both subsets are selected by double positive thymocytes leading to common features such as PLZF expression.
