TRAV1-2+ CD8+ T-cells including oligoconal expansions of MAIT cells are enriched in the airways in human tuberculosis
5 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells typically express a TRAV1-2 + semi-invariant TCRα that enables recognition of bacterial, mycobacterial, and fungal riboflavin metabolites presented by MR1. MAIT cells are associated with immune control of bacterial and mycobacterial infections in murine models. Here, we report that a population of pro-inflammatory TRAV1-2 + CD8 + T cells are present in the...
