Circulating mucosal-associated invariant T cell alterations in adults with recent-onset and long-term oral lichen planus.

Compared with the healthy control group, the frequency of CD8 + MAIT cells decreased in the long-term OLP group, and there was an increasing trend in the expression of DN MAIT cells, which is consistent with previous reports [ 16 ], indicating that the dominant cell toxicity function of MAIT cells in the onset of OLP may change as the disease progresses over time.
