From: Activation of mucosal-associated invariant T cells in the lungs of sarcoidosis patients
(A,B) Proportion and frequency of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from sarcoidosis patients (n = 14). The absolute number (A) and proportion (B) of MAIT cells were higher in BALF from lungs of patients with parenchymal infiltration (Lung (+)) than in lungs of those without parenchymal infiltration (Lung (−)). The proportion of CD69+ cells (C) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD69 expression (D) on MAIT cells were significantly higher in BALF than in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
