Role of gammadelta T cells in protecting normal airway function
Since their discovery 15 years ago, the role of gammadelta T cells has remained somewhat elusive. Responses of gammadelta T cells have been found in numerous infectious and non-infectious diseases. New evidence points to gammadelta T cells' functioning in the airways to maintain normal airway responsiveness or tone. In the lung, distinct subsets of gammadelta T cell subsets seem to have specifi...
متن کاملThe recognition pattern of gammadelta T cells.
The main function of immune system is to recognize and respond to foreign antigens. During the course of evolution, the body has successfully developed four kinds of mechanisms to recognize antigens, including pattern recognition mediated by macrophages, missing-self and induced-self recognition for NK cells, antigen specific recognition for alphabeta T cells and B cells and "broad-spectrum spe...
متن کاملDesign and development of CAR-T cells for cancer therapy
Introduction: Today, treatment with CAR-T cells is accepted as an effective treatment for blood malignancies. CAR-T cells are autologous T cells that are engineered by gene transfer techniques to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Despite the promising results and the approval of six CAR-T cell products; these products have not yet been approved for solid tumors. In addition, the high c...
متن کاملGammadelta T cell function varies with the expressed WC1 coreceptor.
WC1 molecules are transmembrane glycoproteins belonging to the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family and uniquely expressed on gammadelta T cells. Although participation of WC1+ gammadelta T cells in immune responses is well established, very little is understood regarding the significance of expressing different forms of the WC1 molecule. Two forms previously identified by mAbs, i.e., WC1.1 ...
متن کاملBalancing Inflammation: The Link between Th17 and Regulatory T Cells
CD4(+) T cell compartments in mouse and man are composed of multiple distinct subsets each possessing unique phenotypic and functional characteristics. IL-17-producing CD4(+) T cells (Th17 cells) represent a distinct subset of the CD4(+) T cell lineage. Recent evidence suggests that Th17 cells carry out effector functions similar to cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells and play an important role in the cle...
