| Research Abstract |
We investigated anti-mycobacterial activity of human reMAIT cells. Immunocompromised mice received human reMAIT cells could resist against M. abscessus infection. reMAIT cells transfered mice demonstrated marked expression of granulysin whose gene was absent in mice, indicating that human reMAIT cells killed mycobacteria through granylysin. Hereby,a novel method against infectious diseases is demonstrated.
