Abstract excerpt
The novel class Ib molecule MR1 is highly conserved in mammals, particularly in its alpha1/alpha2 domains. Recent studies demonstrated that MR1 expression is required for development and expansion of a small population of T cells expressing an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) alpha chain called mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells. Despite these intriguing properties it has been difficult to determine...
