Deskripsi
MAIT cells are abundant in the lungs and confer protection against bacterial pathogens. Whilst activation of these cells has been described during viral infections, here van Wilgenburg and colleagues show that in a murine model MAIT cells contribute to the protective host immune response to influenza virus infection.
