Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize vitamin B metabolites presented by the molecule MR1. Rossjohn and colleagues generate multiple altered metabolite ligands and determine their structures in the context of MR1 and the TCR to develop a generalized framework for MAIT cell antigen recognition.
