Mucosal associated invariant T cells: Powerhouses of the lung. [PDF]
The lungs face constant environmental challenges from harmless molecules, airborne pathogens and harmful agents that can damage the tissue. The lungs' immune system includes numerous tissue-resident lymphocytes that contribute to maintain tissue homeostasis and to the early initiation of immune responses.

Neutrophils suppress mucosal‐associated invariant T cells in humans [PDF]
Abstract Mucosal‐associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate‐like T lymphocytes that are abundant in mucosal tissues and the liver where they can respond rapidly to a broad range of riboflavin producing bacterial and fungal pathogens. Neutrophils, which are recruited early to sites of infection, play a nonredundant role in pathogen

Unconventional human T cells accumulate at the site of infection in response to microbial ligands and induce local tissue remodeling [PDF]
The antimicrobial responsiveness and function of unconventional human T cells are poorly understood, with only limited access to relevant specimens from sites of infection.

Role of subclinical gut inflammation in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis [PDF]
Subclinical gut inflammation occurring in patients affected by spondyloarthritis (SpA) is correlated with the severity of spine inflammation. Several evidences indicate that dysbiosis occurs in SpA, and that may modulate intestinal permeability and ...

Double Positive Thymocytes Select Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells [PDF]
Abstract NKT and mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express semi-invariant TCR and restriction by nonclassical MHC class Ib molecules. Despite common features, the respective development of NKT and MAIT subsets is distinct. NKTs proliferate extensively and acquire effector properties prior to thymic export.

Recognition of vitamin B metabolites by mucosal-associated invariant T cells [PDF]
The mucosal-associated invariant T-cell antigen receptor (MAIT TCR) recognizes MR1 presenting vitamin B metabolites. Here we describe the structures of a human MAIT TCR in complex with human MR1 presenting a non-stimulatory ligand derived from folic acid

Mucosal associated invariant T cells: Don't forget your vitamins [PDF]
T lymphocytes express clonal receptors, called T cell receptors (TCRs), which specifically recognize antigens presented in combination with major histocompatibility molecules (MHC). To date, T cell antigens can be broadly categorized into two classes: peptides and lipids.

Recipient mucosal-associated invariant T cells control GVHD within the colon [PDF]
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a unique innate-like T cell subset that responds to a wide array of bacteria and yeast through recognition of riboflavin metabolites presented by the MHC class I–like molecule MR1.
