Current progress in γδ T-cell biology
T lymphocytes bearing γ- and δ-chain T-cell receptor heterodimers are named γδ T cells. Interestingly, γδ and αβ T cells share the same progenitors, and they undergo a fate decision in the thymus. Functional d...

Treatment of allergic inflammation and hyperresponsiveness by a simple compound, Bavachinin, isolated from Chinese herbs
Asthmatic inflammation is mediated by a type 2 helper T cell (Th2) cytokine response, and blocking Th2 cytokine production is proven to have a potent therapeutic effect against asthmatic inflammation. Using IL...

Open AccessVitamin C promotes the proliferation and effector functions of human γδ T cells
γδ T cells are of interest as effector cells for cellular immunotherapy due to their HLA-non-restricted lysis of many different tumor cell types. Potential applications include the adoptive transfer of in vitr...

Open AccessAllogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell immunotherapy exhibits promising clinical safety and prolongs the survival of patients with late-stage lung or liver cancer
Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are promising candidates for cellular tumor immunotherapy. Due to their HLA-independent mode of action, allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells can be considered for clinical application. To apply allogeneic ...

CFTR is a negative regulator of γδ T cell IFN-γ production and antitumor immunity
CFTR, a chloride channel and ion channel regulator studied mostly in epithelial cells, has been reported to participate in immune regulation and likely affect the risk of cancer development. However, little is...

Open AccessCytosolic and nuclear recognition of virus and viral evasion
The innate immune system is the first line of host defense, which responds rapidly to viral infection. Innate recognition of viruses is mediated by a set of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that sense vira...

The kinase complex mTORC2 promotes the longevity of virus-specific memory CD4+ T cells by preventing ferroptosis
Antigen-specific memory CD4+ T cells can persist and confer rapid and efficient protection from microbial reinfection. However, the mechanisms underlying the long-term maintenance of the memory CD4+ T cell pool r...

Glucose metabolism controls human γδ T-cell-mediated tumor immunosurveillance in diabetes
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of cancer. The effect of glucose metabolism on γδ T cells and their impact on tumor surveillance remain unknown. Here, we showed that high g...

Open AccessImmune-Ageing Evaluation of Peripheral T and NK Lymphocyte Subsets in Chinese Healthy Adults
Ageing is often accompanied with a decline in immune system function, resulting in immune ageing. Numerous studies have focussed on the changes in different lymphocyte subsets in diseases and immunosenescence....

B-cell-derived IL-10 promotes allergic sensitization in asthma regulated by Bcl-3
Aeroallergen sensitization, mainly mediated by lung epithelium and dendritic cells (DCs), is integral to allergic asthma pathogenesis and progression. IL-10 has a dual role in immune responses, as it inhibits ...

Lkb1 orchestrates γδ T-cell metabolic and functional fitness to control IL-17-mediated autoimmune hepatitis
γδ T cells play a crucial role in immune surveillance and serve as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity. However, the metabolic requirements and regulation of γδ T-cell development and function remain...
