Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are primarily γ:δ T cells with limited diversity found in mucosal tissues that respond to bacterial folate derivatives presented by the MR1 molecule.
Primarily γ:δ T cells with limited diversity present in the mucosal immune system that respond to bacterially derived folate derivates presented by the nonclassical MHC class Ib molecule MR1
