Abstract γδ T cells have several innate cell-like features that allow their early activation
following recognition of conserved stress-induced ligands. Here we review recent …

Allergic asthma is a complex and chronic inflammatory disorder which is associated with
airway hyper-responsiveness and tissue remodelling of the airway structure. Although …

γδ T cells are implicated in host defense against microbes and tumors but their mode of
function remains largely unresolved. Here, we have investigated the ability of activated …

African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection usually results in an acute haemorrhagic disease
with a mortality rate approaching 100% in domestic pigs. However, pigs can survive …

Human γδ T cells expressing the Vγ2Vδ2 TCR play important roles in immune responses to
microbial pathogens by monitoring prenyl pyrophosphate isoprenoid metabolites. Most adult …

Abstract γδ-T cells represent a small population of immune cells, but play an indispensable
role in host defenses against exogenous pathogens, immune surveillance of endogenous …

Professional phagocytosis in mammals is considered to be performed exclusively by
myeloid cell types. In this study, we demonstrate, for the first time, that a mammalian …

April 25 and 26, 2008, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This conference series, funded by the
ARVO Foundation for Eye Research through a grant from Pfizer Ophthalmics, provides an …

Gamma-delta (γδ) T cells are a heterogeneous population of immune cells, which
constitute< 5% of total T cells in mice lymphoid tissue and human peripheral blood …

γδ T cells are a functionally heterogeneous population and contribute to many early immune
responses. The majority of their activity is described in humans and mice, but the immune …
