Adaptive Immune Responses and Immunity to SARS-CoV-2
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical field has been forced to apply the basic knowledge of immunology with the most up-to-date SARS-CoV-2 findings and translate it to the population of the whole world in record time.

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 ...

Clinical applications of gamma delta T cells with multivalent immunity
Gamma delta T cells hold promise for adoptive immunotherapy because of their reactivity to bacteria, viruses, and tumors. However, these cells represent a small fraction (1-5%) of the peripheral T-cell pool and require activation and propagation to ...

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.

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

Apoptosis Induced via Gamma Delta T Cell Antigen Receptor “Blocking” Antibodies: A Cautionary Tale [PDF]
Mechanistic studies contribute greatly to our understanding of γδ T cell (γδTc) biology, aiding development of these cells as immunotherapeutic agents. The antibody blocking assay is an accepted method to determine the receptors involved in γδTc killing of tumor targets.

Preferential usage of the Fc receptor gamma chain in the T cell antigen receptor complex by gamma/delta T cells localized in epithelia. [PDF]
zeta and eta chains of the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) complex and the gamma chain of Fc receptors (FcR gamma) constitute a family of proteins important for the expression of, and signal transduction through, these receptors in hematopoietic cells. In zeta-deficient mice, TCR expression was reduced in most T cells.

Extrathymic origin of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes bearing T-cell antigen receptor gamma delta. [PDF]
The kinetics of postnatal intestinal colonization by T cells carrying gamma delta and alpha beta T-cell antigen receptors were studied in nude and normal mice by flow cytometry and immunohistology. Furthermore, gamma delta and alpha beta T-cell development was analyzed in lethally irradiated mice that were reconstituted by fetal liver precursors with ...

Bovine gamma/delta T cells are stimulated by bovine coronavirus antigens identified by a soluble T cells receptor [PDF]
Gamma/delta (γδ) T cells in cattle account for an abundant T cell population. However, little is known regarding the function of γδ T cells as immune cells compared to αβ T cells. Not many pathogen-related antigens have been defined and known to stimulate γδ T cells.
