Fighting Liver Metastasis by Activating MAIT Cells

In this issue, Ruf and colleagues show that antigen stimulation of mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells in the presence of the TLR9 ligand CpG decreases intrahepatic tumor growth, suggesting that MAIT cells could be used as an antitumor tool.
