This research demonstrates the role of riboflavin metabolism in stimulating MAIT cell activation, suggesting implications for immunotherapy in liver cancer.
Introduction: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an abundant T cell subset in the human liver and they play a crucial role in the regulation of immunity and inflammation. MAIT cells can be activated and expanded using riboflavin metabolism-derived T cell receptor (TCR) agonists. The aim of this work was to resolve the underlying mechanisms of MAIT-mediated anti-tumor immunity in human and mouse.
