Anti-leukemia activity of human gamma delta T cells

Oncoimmunology. 2012 Mar 1;1(2):237-239. doi: 10.4161/onci.1.2.18231.

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.
