The CD4 − CD8 − MAIT cell subpopulation is a functionally distinct subset developmentally related to the main CD8 + MAIT cell pool
15 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Significance Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are unconventional innate-like T cells recognizing microbial riboflavin metabolites presented by the monomorphic MR1 molecule. Here, we show that the CD8 + CD4 − and CD8 − CD4 − subpopulations of human MAIT cells represent transcriptionally and phenotypically discrete subsets with distinct functional profiles. Furthermore, T cell receptor repertoire...
