Immunosurveillance by human γδ T lymphocytes: the emerging role of butyrophilins
In contrast to conventional T lymphocytes, which carry an αβ T-cell receptor and recognize antigens as peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex class I or class II molecules, human γδ T cells recognize different metabolites such as non-peptidic pyrophosphate molecules that are secreted by microbes or overproduced by tumor cells. Hence, γδ T cells play a role in immunosurveillance ...
متن کاملGamma/delta tumor infiltrating lymphocytes selectively infiltrate human renal cell carcinomas
Although γδ T cells are thought to participate in tumor immunosurveillance, little is known about their diversity in human cancers. Previously, we shown that γδ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) may selectively infiltrate into human solid tumors and undergo activation. Here we compared γδ T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire and complementarity determining region (CDR3) size distribution in TIL,...
متن کاملTumor cell recognition by γδ T lymphocytes
The dissection of the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor-cell recognition by γδ T-cells is crucial to improve their performance in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we discuss the controversy around the relative contributions of the γδ T-cell receptor (TCR) and natural killer receptors (NKRs) to tumor-cell targeting by γδ T cells.
متن کاملHuman γδ T lymphocytes for immunotherapeutic strategies against cancer
γδ T lymphocytes are a numerically small subset of T cells with potent cytotoxic activity against a variety of tumor cells. Human γδ T cells expressing the Vγ9Vδ2 T cell antigen receptor recognize endogenous pyrophosphate molecules that are overproduced in transformed cells. Moreover, the intracellular accumulation of such pyrophosphates is strongly enhanced by aminobisphosphonates used in the ...
متن کاملHepatocellular carcinoma cell sensitivity to Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocyte-mediated killing is increased by zoledronate
The limited efficacy of vaccines in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), due to the low frequency of tumor-infiltrating cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), indicates the importance of innate immune surveillance, which assists acquired immunity by directly recognizing and eliminating HCC. Innate Vγ9Vδ2 T cells have major histocompatibility complex-unrestricted antitumor activity and are activated by phos...
