A flow-cytometry-based assay to assess the cytolytic activity against tumor cells by combination of mouse MAIT cells and natural killer cells

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells responsible for mucosal immunity in the respiratory and intestinal tracts. Here we present a flow-cytometry-based assay to measure the cytolytic activity of murine MAIT cells and natural killer (NK) cells. We describe steps for diff...

Sumario:Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells responsible for mucosal immunity in the respiratory and intestinal tracts. Here we present a flow-cytometry-based assay to measure the cytolytic activity of murine MAIT cells and natural killer (NK) cells. We describe steps for differentiating MAIT-like cells from the induced pluripotent stem cells prepared from MAIT cells (reMAIT cells), NK cell isolation, co-culture with target tumor cells, and staining to distinguish dead cells from live cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Sugimoto et al. (2022).(1)
