SCART Scavenger Receptors Identify a Novel Subset of Adult γδ T Cells

Abstract excerpt

Although there has been great progress in the characterization of alphabeta T cell differentiation, selection, and function, gammadelta T cells have remained poorly understood. One of the main reasons for this is the lack of gammadelta T cell-specific surface markers other than the TCR chains themselves. In this study we describe two novel surface receptors, SCART1 and SCART2. SCARTs are related to CD5, CD6, and...
