Abstract excerpt
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related protein 1 (MR1) presents vitamin B-derived metabolites to mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) and other T cells. There is limited polymorphism of MR1, the functional impact of which is not understood. We examined the impact of allelic variation of MR1 on the expression, structure and function of the known MR1 allomorphs. The expression and function of...
