We review the recent human mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell literature to examine the signals that control MAIT cell activation. We discuss these signals in context of MAIT cell function in mucosal barrier tissues and address how MAIT cells avoid responding to commensal bacteria, while maintaining responsiveness to infections.
我们回顾了近期有关人类黏膜相关恒定 T(MAIT)细胞的文献,以研究控制 MAIT 细胞激活的信号。我们在黏膜屏障组织中 MAIT 细胞功能的背景下讨论这些信号,并探讨 MAIT 细胞如何避免对共生菌产生反应,同时保持对感染的反应性。
