Abstract excerpt
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that recognize microbial metabolites. Recent studies have suggested numerous markers to define MAIT cells with distinct functional characteristics. This review synthesizes available data to identify markers that distinguish type 1 and type 3 murine MAIT cells. Inflammation can alter the expression of these markers, reflecting the plasticity of...
