Diverse <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i> strains drive a MAIT cell response through MR1-dependent and cytokine-driven pathways
2017-07-06
Abstract excerpt
Mucosal Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells represent an innate T cell population of emerging significance. These abundant cells can recognize ligands generated by microbes utilizing the riboflavin synthesis pathway, presented via the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-related molecule MR1 and binding of specific T cell receptors (TCR). They also possess an innate functional programme allowing microbia...
