Anti-leukemia activity of human gamma delta T cells

Abstract

Two recently published articles from Siegers and colleagues detail both a novel human gamma delta T cell (GDTc) expansion protocol and a bioluminescent xenograft model of Ph+ leukemia, in which GDTc adoptive therapy was tested. Additionally, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia-derived cells were newly identified as targets of preferentially expanded Vdelta1 GDTc. © 2012 Landes Bioscience.
