Potential Sources for MAIT Information
In the past few years, there have been plenty of published journal articles and reviews about MAIT cells and their various roles in immunity. However, the MAIT cell Wikipedia article hardly scratches the surface of MAIT cell function. I plan to add to this Wikipedia article with the goal of informing the public about this fascinating, and essential, T cell subset. Below, I have listed several review articles I have found on MAIT cells and their various roles in the body (e.g. in autoimmunity, in antimicrobial immunity, in multiple sclerosis). Many of these articles have come out rather recently, and the amount of published work on MAIT cells appears to be increasing every year.
