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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

γδ T cells affect IL-4 production and B-cell tolerance [PDF]
γδ T cells can influence specific antibody responses. Here, we report that mice deficient in individual γδ T-cell subsets have altered levels of serum antibodies, including all major subclasses, sometimes regardless of the presence of αβ 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 ...

Immunotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma: the complex interface between inflammation, fibrosis, and the immune response. [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide and confers a poor prognosis. Beyond standard systemic therapy with multikinase inhibitors, recent studies demonstrate the potential for robust and durable responses ...

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
