Abstract

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a group of unconventional T cells that have come into focus of researchers in the past years. They are abundant in humans and enriched in tissues like the liver. Their roles in physiological immune processes and in the context of infectious, autoimmune and malign diseases have been studied extensively. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about MAIT cells in viral hepatitis and liver diseases.
