IL17A and infection: The percentage of IL-17A-expressing MAIT cells was high and increased slightly throughout the course of infection (naive 22%, 7 DPI 27% and >100 DPI 30%; Fig. 4b, left panel), whilst IFN-γ secretion was proportionately less, but nevertheless was significantly higher during the acute infection than in cells from uninfected mice or after resolution (ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s test P = 0.03 and 0.0004 respectively, Fig. 4b, middle panel).
