- Title
Comparative biology of γδ T cells.
- Authors
Chen, Zheng W.
- Abstract
Accumulative evidence suggests that resident γδ T cells in epithelia are biologically distinct from systemic γδ T cells in the circulation. Murine resident γδ T cells have innate immune characteristics and play an important role in tissue homeostasis after damages. In contrast, a unique subset of circulating γδ T cells in primates, like αβ T cells, can mount adaptive immune responses in infections. This article compares biological features between resident and circulating γδ T cells.
