MR1-Restricted MAIT Cells From The Human Lung Mucosal Surface Have Distinct Phenotypic, Functional, and Transcriptomic Features That Are Preserved in HIV Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a class of innate-like T cells that utilize a semi-invariant αβ T cell receptor to recognize small molecule ligands produced by bacteria and fungi.

Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in the Digestive System: Defender or Destroyer?Summary

Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2023
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of innate T lymphocytes that express the semi-invariant T cell receptor and recognize riboflavin metabolites via the major histocompatibility complex class I–related protein. Given the abundance of

MAIT cells activate dendritic cells to promote TFH cell differentiation and induce humoral immunity

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Protective immune responses against respiratory pathogens, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and influenza virus, are initiated by the mucosal immune system.

Use of a MAIT Activating Ligand, 5-OP-RU, as a Mucosal Adjuvant in a Murine Model of Vibrio cholerae O1 Vaccination

Pathogens and Immunity, 2022
Background: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells enriched in the mucosa with capacity for B-cell help. We hypothesize that targeting MAIT cells, using a MAIT-activating ligand as an adjuvant, could improve mucosal vaccine ...

Emerging Roles of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatology

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an unconventional T cell subset expressing a semi-invariant TCR and recognize microbial riboflavin metabolites presented by major histocompatibility complex class 1-related molecule (MR1).

Thymic iNKT single cell analyses unmask the common developmental program of mouse innate T cells

Nature Communications, 2020
Innate-like T cells such as invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells both develop in the thymus. Here the authors use single-cell RNA sequencing to show that mouse iNKT and MAIT share components of developmental ...

Activation and In Vivo Evolution of the MAIT Cell Transcriptome in Mice and Humans Reveals Tissue Repair Functionality

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are MR1-restricted innate-like T cells conserved across mammalian species, including mice and humans. By sequencing RNA from sorted MR1-5-OP-RU tetramer+ cells derived from either human blood or murine

TCR- or Cytokine-Activated CD8+ Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells Are Rapid Polyfunctional Effectors That Can Coordinate Immune Responses

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: 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.
