In nonhuman primates, Vγ9Vδ2(+) (Vδ2)T cells proliferate and accumulate in mucosal tissues following microbial activation. Human Vδ2T cells produce proinflammatory cytokines in response to bacterial species that colonize the gut, but the role played by Vδ2T cells in intestinal immunity is unknown...
