We have previously demonstrated that gamma/delta T lymphocytes may participate in the host immune response against lung adenocarcinomas. Here we show that, in about one-fourth of human lung cancers, gamma/delta T cells represented a significant proportion of freshly isolated tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Moreover, these cells selectively expand in vitro upon culture in the presence of IL-2, thus suggesting a prior activation in vivo. Finally, when we evaluated the expression of heat shock proteins and of a panel of tumor-associated antigens in lung cancers infiltrated by gamma/delta vs. alpha/beta T cells, we found that the former displayed a distinct antigenic pattern, characterized by over-expression of HSP72 and of the 67-kDa high-affinity laminin receptor, which might account for gamma/delta T-cell recognition.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.

D016692 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell, gamma-delta T-cell receptors composed of CD3-associated gamma and delta polypeptide chains and expressed primarily in CD4-/CD8- T-cells. The receptors appear to be preferentially located in epithelial sites and probably play a role in the recognition of bacterial antigens. The T-cell receptor gamma/delta chains are separate and not related to the gamma and delta chains which are subunits of CD3 (see ANTIGENS, CD3).
