Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize and can directly destroy bacterially infected cells. While a role for MAIT cells has been suggested in several in vitro and in vivo models of M.tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, these studies have often focused on MAIT cells within the peripheral blood or are cross-sectional studies rather than longitudinal studies. The role of MAIT cells withi...
