Antibody-gamma/delta T cell receptors targeting GPC2 regress neuroblastoma with low antigen density
Summary: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have shown promise in hematological cancers but face challenges in solid tumors, partly due to heterogeneous antigen density. Glypican-2 (GPC2) is an oncofetal antigen highly expressed in neuroblastoma and

Chimeric Antigen Receptor engineered gamma delta T cells for neuroblastoma immunotherapy [PDF]
Gamma delta (γδ) T cells are a unique subset of lymphocytes that combine both innate and adaptive immune properties. They are primed for rapid function including tumour cell cytotoxicity, and following activation, have professional antigen presenting ...

T cell receptors (TCRs) recognize antigens presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and MHC class I-like molecules. We describe a diverse population of human gamma delta T cells isolated from peripheral blood and tissues that exhibit autoreactivity to the monomorphic MHC-related protein 1 (MR1). The crystal structure of a gamma delta TCR-MR1-

Selection of gamma delta T cells with canonical T-cell antigen receptors in fetal thymus. [PDF]
Two gamma delta T-cell subsets that are generated in the fetal thymus and selectively localize in epidermis and uterus-vagina-tongue epithelia exhibit remarkable homogeneity in their (T-cell) antigen receptors (TCR). In the present study, we show that cells expressing the canonical gamma delta TCR are also generated in fetal thymus organ cultures ...

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has been applied in the treatment of B-cell lymphoma; however, CAR-T manufacturing requires virus- or non-virus-based genetic modification, which causes high manufacturing costs and potential safety ...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Engineered Human Gamma Delta T Cells: Enhanced Cytotoxicity with Retention of Cross Presentation [PDF]
Gamma delta T (γδT) lymphocytes are primed for rapid function, including cytotoxicity toward cancer cells, and are a component of the immediate stress response. Following activation, they can function as professional antigen-presenting cells. Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) work by focusing T cell function on defined cell surface tumor antigens and ...

Human T cell responses to peptides of the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen. [PDF]
In order to identify T cell epitopes within the Mycobacterium leprae 45-kD serine-rich antigen, we analysed responses to overlapping 17-mer peptides encompassing the whole antigen in non-exposed UK controls, Pakistani leprosy patients and tuberculosis ...

Bovine NK cells can produce gamma interferon in response to the secreted mycobacterial proteins ESAT-6 and MPP14 but not in response to MPB70 [PDF]
Bovine NK cells have recently been characterized and the present study describes the interaction between NK cells, antigen-presenting cells, and secreted mycobacteriall proteins.

Mixing signals: Molecular turn ons and turn offs for innate γδ Τ cells
Lymphocytes of the gamma delta (γδ) T cell lineage are evolutionary conserved and although they express rearranged antigen-specific receptors a large proportion respond as innate effectors. γδ T cells are poised to combat infection by responding rapidly

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cells for the Treatment of Gamma-Delta T-Cell Malignancies
Abstract Introduction Cancers derived from the malignant transformation of gamma delta T-cells are rare but carry very poor prognosis. Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma is a highly aggressive condition characterised by hepatosplenic and bone marrow involvement.
