Abstract

Human mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) CD8+ and Tc17 cells are important tissue-homing cell populations, characterized by high expression of CD161 (++) and type-17 differentiation, but their origins and relationships remain poorly defined. By transcriptional and functional analyses, we demonstrate that a pool of polyclonal, precommitted type-17 CD161++CD8αβ+ T cells exist in cord blood, from which a prominent MAIT cell (TCR Vα7.2+) population emerges post-natally. During this expansion, CD8αα T cells appear exclusively within a CD161++CD8+/MAIT subset, sharing cytokine production, chemokine-receptor expression, TCR-usage, and transcriptional profiles with their CD161++CD8αβ+ counterparts. Our data demonstrate the origin and differentiation pathway of MAIT-cells from a naive type-17 precommitted CD161++CD8+ T-cell pool and the distinct phenotype and function of CD8αα cells in man.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
