Designing a Western blot for MR1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

MAIT lymphocytes are preferentially located in the gut lamina propria and therefore may be involved in monitoring commensal flora or serve as a distress signal. Expression and MAIT cell recognition seem to be ligand-dependent.
