Early colonization with a low abundance of vitamin B2-synthesizing commensals induces minimal MAIT cell development, whereas a high abundance of these microbes imprints a high frequency of MAIT cells in adults, which subsequently promote tissue repair.

MAITs are necessary for cutaneous wound healing in the absence of compensation by γδ T cells, which are overrepresented in murine skin. Use of tamoxifen-inducible Tcrd-creER prevents developmental compensation by MAITs that would occur in Tcrd-/- strain.
