Interleukin 15 controls the generation of the restricted T cell receptor repertoire of γδ intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes
The γδ T cells are prevalent in the mucosal epithelia and are postulated to act as 'sentries' for maintaining tissue integrity. What these γδ T cells recognize is poorly defined, but given the restricted T cel...
