Natural Killer T Cells and Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Lung Infections [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The immune system has been traditionally divided into two arms called innate and adaptive immunity. Typically, innate immunity refers to rapid defense mechanisms that set in motion within minutes to hours following an insult.

Biological functions and therapeutic applications of human mucosal-associated invariant T cells [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Science
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a unique subset of innate-like T lymphocytes that bridge innate and adaptive immunity. Characterized by their semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) and abundant localization in mucosal tissues, MAIT cells ...

Mucosal-associated invariant T cells in hematological malignancies: Current knowledge, pending questions [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Non-classical HLA restricted T cell subsets such as γδ T and NK-T cells are showing promises for immune-based therapy of hematological malignancies. Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cells (MAIT) belong to this family of innate-like T cell subsets and are ...

IL-23 tunes inflammatory functions of human mucosal-associated invariant T cells [PDF]

iScience
Summary: IL-23 signaling plays a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases, yet the cellular targets and signaling pathways affected by this cytokine remain poorly understood.

Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells in Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]

Arthritis Rheumatol
Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T cells defined by their semi‐invariant T cell receptor and restriction by the major histocompatibility complex class I–related molecule (MR1). These cells are primarily activated by microbial‐derived metabolites presented by MR1 or by cytokines.

Mucosal-associated invariant T-cells in pulmonary pathophysiology. [PDF]

Curr Opin Pulm Med
Purpose of review Mucosal-associated invariant T-cells (MAIT) have been associated with lung cancer and pulmonary infections. The treatment of patients with cancer or infections includes host-directed therapies (HDTs). MAIT play a role in shaping the ‘milieu interne’ in cancer and infections and this review addresses the ...

Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cell in liver diseases [PDF]

International Journal of Biological Sciences, 2020
Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells) are a new population of innate immune cells, which are abundant in the liver and play complex roles in various liver diseases. In this review, we summarize MAIT cells in the liver diseases in recent studies, figure out the role of MAIT cells in various liver disease, including Alcoholic liver disease ...

Mucosal-associated invariant T cells and disease [PDF]

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2019
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unique innate-like T cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity. They are activated by conserved bacterial ligands derived from vitamin B biosynthesis and have important roles in defence against bacterial and viral infections. However, they can also have various deleterious and protective functions in

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]

, 2020
Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.
