MicroRNA-155 Regulates MAIT1 and MAIT17 Cell Differentiation
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that develop in the thymus through three maturation stages to acquire effector function and differentiate into MAIT1 (T-bet+) and MAIT17 (RORγt+) subsets.

MAIT cell-MR1 reactivity is highly conserved across multiple divergent species. [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of unconventional T cells that recognize small molecule metabolites presented by major histocompatibility complex class I related protein 1 (MR1), via an αβ T cell receptor (TCR). MAIT TCRs feature

Improved MAIT cell functions following fecal microbiota transplantation for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. [PDF]
Strategies to modify the gut microbiome in cancer patients using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) have gained momentum as a therapeutic intervention. However, how FMT impacts innate-like, antimicrobial T lymphocytes is unclear.
