Table 2 Comparison of MR1/5-OPRU tetramer staining and usage of MAIT cell-consistent CDR3α sequences within TRAV1-2+ CD8+ T cells in the bronchoalveolar (BAL) and peripheral blood (PBMC) compartments from two patients with active TB

From: TRAV1-2+ CD8+ T-cells including oligoconal expansions of MAIT cells are enriched in the airways in human tuberculosis
