Direct and Indirect Effects of Cytomegalovirus-induced gamma-delta T Cells after Kidney Transplantation [PDF]
Despite effective anti-viral therapies, cytomegalovirus (CMV) is still associated with direct (CMV disease) and indirect effects (rejection and poor graft survival) in kidney transplant recipients.

Potential use of [gammadelta] T cell-based vaccines in cancer immunotherapy [PDF]
Immunotherapy is a fast advancing methodology involving one of two approaches: 1) compounds targeting immune checkpoints, and 2) cellular immunomodulators.

Expansion of Gammadelta T Cells from Cord Blood: A Therapeutical Possibility [PDF]
Gammadelta (γδ) T cells are found in both blood and tissues and have antiviral and antitumor properties. The frequency of γδ T cells in umbilical cord blood (UCB) is low, and the majority express δ1, in contrast to blood, whereas the main subset is δ2γ9 ...

The success of gammadelta (gd) T cell-based immunotherapy, where the cytotoxic activity of circulating gd T lymphocytes is activated by nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (n-BP), or possibly by bispecific antibodies or the combination of both, requires ...

Efficacy of natural killer T and gammadelta T cells in mesothelin-targeted immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer [PDF]
Current pancreatic cancer immunotherapy focused on alphabeta (αβ) T cells, either through CD3-engaged bispecific antibodies or CAR-T. Despite their promise, dose-limited toxicity (DLT) remains a challenge in clinical practice. In light of these concerns,

Ageing and latent CMV infection impact on maturation, differentiation and exhaustion profiles of T-cell receptor gammadelta T-cells [PDF]
Ageing is a broad cellular process, largely affecting the immune system, especially T-lymphocytes. Additionally to immunosenescence alone, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is thought to have major impacts on T-cell subset composition and exhaustion. These

IL-17-producing gammadelta T cells. [PDF]
IL-17 is produced not only by CD4(+) alphabeta T cells, but also CD8(+) alphabeta T cells, NKT cells, and gammadelta T cells, plus some non-T cells, including macrophages and neutrophils. The ability of IL-17 to deploy neutrophils to sites of inflammation imparts this cytokine with a key role in diseases of several types.

Generation and preclinical characterization of a novel bispecific CD19-TCRgammadelta antibody for the treatment of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [PDF]
IntroductionB-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is characterized by the clonal expansion of immature lymphoblastic cells. Treating patients with disease relapse is challenging, especially after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (aSCT ...

Photoaffinity antigens for human gammadelta T cells. [PDF]
Vgamma2Vdelta2 T cells comprise the major subset of peripheral blood gammadelta T cells in humans and expand during infections by recognizing small nonpeptide prenyl pyrophosphates. These molecules include (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl-pyrophosphate (HMBPP), a microbial isoprenoid intermediate, and isopentenyl pyrophosphate, an endogenous ...

gammadelta T cells: the overlooked T-cell subset in demyelinating disease. [PDF]
gammadelta T cells represent a small subpopulation of T cells expressing a restricted repertoire of T-cell receptors and, unlike alphabeta T cells, function more as cells of the innate immune system. These cells are found in skin and mucosal sites as well as secondary lymphoid tissues and frequently act as first line of defense sentinels.
