Gamma Delta T Cells: Guardians of Immune Surveillance

EasyChair Preprint 12434

Abstract

Gamma delta (γδ) T cells constitute a unique subset of T lymphocytes, distinguished by the expression of T-cell receptors (TCRs) containing γ and δ chains. While constituting a small proportion of the total T-cell population, γδ T cells play critical roles in immune surveillance, bridging innate and adaptive immunity. This research paper explores the characteristics, functions, and emerging therapeutic implications of γδ T cells. Through a comprehensive review of current literature, we delve into their diverse roles in infection, cancer, and tissue homeostasis, shedding light on the potential for harnessing γδ T cells in immunotherapy.
