Human γδ T cells expressing Vγ9Vδ2 T cell receptors exert a robust response to pathogens and malignant cells. These cells are activated by BTN3A1, which is expressed by pathogen-derived phosphoantigens (pAgs) or host-derived pAgs that accumulate in transformed cells or in cells exposed to aminobisphosphonates. Activated Vδ2 (+) T cells exert multiple effector functions; therefore, they are a promising candidate for immunotherapy.
