Mucosal-associated invariant T cells in clinical diseases.
UNLABELLED Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells that recognize microbial infection via vitamin metabolites. The discovery of MAIT cells in the past two decades and the recent discovery of MR1 ligands has opened a new field and potential area for cellular immunotherapy using these unique cells. Their evolutionary conservation in mammals underscore their biological ...
متن کاملHuman Leptin Hormone Affects TNF-α Production in Mucosal-associated Invariant T Cells
Background and Aims: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are striking lymphocyte population in the blood and their importance in immune responses is growing fast. The current study was conducted to evaluate leptin hormone effects on MAIT cell functions. Materials and Methods: Five healthy male donors in ages of 22-30 years were selected and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) ...

Vol. 205 No. 5 1201-1211 www.jem.org/cgi/doi/ 1201 10.1084/jem.20072579 Mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAITs) are a unique “ innate ” T cell population that expresses an invariant mV 19 TCR in mice and the homologous hV 7.2 in humans ( 1 ). With the exception of preferential localization in the intestine, MAIT cell...
متن کاملMR1-Restricted Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells and Their Activation during Infectious Diseases
MR1-restricted mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize vitamin B metabolites, which are generated by a broad range of bacteria, from Escherichia coli to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and BCG. MAIT cells have been described as innate sensors of infection as they accumulate early in infected tissues. MAIT cells maintain an activated phenotype throughout the course of infections, secret...
متن کاملThe role of T helper 9(Th9) against Infectious Diseases
Background and aims: Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites .The Th9 subset develops in response to combined signals from TGF-b and IL-4 among a cacophony of other cytokines in an extracellular milieu. T helper 9 (Th9) cells, as a novel CD4 T cell subset, seem to play a complex role in the outcome of specific immune responses. In thi...
