Through induction of IL-6 as well as chemokines such as CCL2, CXCL8, and CXCL10, Vγ9/Vδ2 T cells and MAIT cells are likely to enhance local inflammation and contribute to further recruitment of monocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes to the site of infection. The gene discussed is CXCL8; the disease is infection.
