Regulation and function of innate-like T cells by Hagel, JP

“…It is expressed by NK- and T-cell subsets, particularly by innate-like T cells such as MAIT and γδT cells. CD161-expressing T-cell subsets share a transcriptional and functional phenotype, including the ability to be activated by cytokines in a T-cell receptor-independent manner, similar to NK cells. …”
