- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on T-cells. It references the study "Antimicrobial activity of mucosal-associated T cells," by L. Le Bourhis and colleagues in the June 27, 2010 issue of "Nature Immunology." It focuses on the characterization of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell, a T-cell subset, using a sample of an evolutionarily preserved invariant T-cell receptor (TCR). It also mentions that the MAIT cells' antimicrobial function is due to IFNy rapid induction.
