| Research Abstract |
We revealed that Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cells(MAIT cells) promote inflammation and exacerbate arthritis by using two mouse models of arthritis. We also demonstrated that MAIT cells became activated upon stimulation with IL-1βor IL-23 even in the absence of T cell receptor stimuli. These results indicate that MAIT cells may exert different functions depending on the pathologic condition and contribute to augment disease in arthritis models.
