Enrichment of human Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes by magnetic poly(divinylbenzene--glycidyl methacrylate) colloidal particles conjugated with specific antibody.

γδ T cells play a significant role in protection against cancer. Purification of γδ T cells is needed for insight when studying their anti-cancer functionality and their utilization in adoptive cell therapy. To improve the purification of γδ T cells, in this work, a composite material based on magnetic nanoparticles was developed for purification of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, the predominant subset of γδ T lymphocytes in human peripheral blood.
