Human MAIT cells are xenobiotic-resistant, tissue-targeted, CD161hi IL-17–secreting T cells

TLDR
The gut-liver homing characteristics, high expression of ABCB1, and ability to secrete interleukin-17 probably participate in the antibacterial properties of MAIT cells.

Regional specialization within the intestinal immune system

TL;DR: The anatomical and physiological distinctions that are observed in the small and large intestines are detailed, and it is suggested how these may account for the diversity in the immune apparatus that is seen throughout the intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Commensal bacteria at the interface of host metabolism and the immune system

TL;DR: The current knowledge of how commensal bacteria regulate the production and bioavailability of immunomodulatory, diet-dependent nutrients and metabolites is reviewed and how these commensAL bacteria–derived products may regulate the development and function of the mammalian immune system is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

CCR7 coordinates the primary immune response by establishing functional microenvironments in secondary lymphoid organs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemokine receptor CCR7 was identified as an important organizer of the primary immune response in mice, and severely delayed kinetics regarding the antibody response and lack contact sensitivity and delayed type hypersensitivity reactions.

Phenotypic and Functional Separation of Memory and Effector Human CD8+ T Cells

TL;DR: In this article, two discrete primed subpopulations are found within the circulating human CD8+ T cell subset, i.e., CD45RA−CD45R0+ cells and CD27−CD27− cells.

Selection of evolutionarily conserved mucosal-associated invariant T cells by MR1

TL;DR: It is shown that T cells that express the canonical hVα7.2-Jα33 or mVα19-J α33 TCR rearrangement are preferentially located in the gut lamina propria of humans and mice, respectively, and are therefore genuine mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells.
