MAIT cells, guardians of skin and mucosa?

Mucosal immunology - 1 Jul 2021

Nel Isabelle, Bertrand Léo, Toubal Amine, Lehuen Agnès

Abstract excerpt

Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are evolutionary conserved innate-like T cells able to recognize bacterial and fungal ligands derived from vitamin B biosynthesis. These cells are particularly present in liver and blood but also populate mucosal sites including skin, oral, intestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts that are in contact with the environment and microbiota of their host. Growing...
