The multisensory regulation of unconventional T cell homeostasis
Unconventional T cells typically group γδ T cells, invariant Natural Killer T cells (NKT) and Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells. With their pre-activated status and biased tropism for non-lymphoid organs, they provide a rapid (innate-like) and efficient first line of defense against pathogens at strategical barrier sites, while they can also ...

An unconventional view of COVID-19 T cell immunity [PDF]
In this issue of JEM, Jouan et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20200872) report the activation and skewed function of unconventional T cells in severe COVID-19 patients. This may reflect a role in COVID-19 immunity or pathogenesis and potentially identifies new therapeutic targets for this disease.

UcTCRdb: An unconventional T cell receptor sequence database with online analysis functions
Unlike conventional major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and II molecules reactive T cells, the unconventional T cell subpopulations recognize various non-polymorphic antigen-presenting molecules and are typically characterized by simplified ...

Commensal bacteria maintain a Qa-1b-restricted unconventional CD8+ T population in gut epithelium
Intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are characterized by an unusual phenotype and developmental pathway, yet their specific ligands and functions remain largely unknown. Here by analysis of QFL T cells, a population of CD8+ T cells critical for

Where do MAIT cells fit in the family of unconventional T cells?
Mucosal-associated invariant T cells are newly identified subpopulation of T cells. A new study highlights their developmental pathway and functional features that allow these cells to assume a unique position in the family of unconventional T cells.

Maintenance of Barrier Tissue Integrity by Unconventional Lymphocytes
Mucosal surfaces, as a first barrier with the environment are especially susceptible to damage from both pathogens and physical trauma. Thus, these sites require tightly regulated repair programs to maintain barrier function in the face of such insults ...

The large majority of lymphocytes belong to the adaptive immune system, which are made up of B2 B cells and the αβ T cells; these are the effectors in an adaptive immune response.
