MAIT cell clonal expansion and TCR repertoire shaping in human volunteers challenged with Salmonella Paratyphi A

Most MAIT cell response to infection studies are of mice. Here the authors characterize MAIT cell population responses to Salmonella Paratyphi A infection of 25 human volunteers using TCR clonotype analysis and mass cytometry of pre-infection matched to post-infection samples.
