Unique antigen recognition by a herpesvirus-specific TCR-gamma delta cell.
1 Jun 1994
Abstract excerpt
TCR-gamma delta cells, a T cell subset present in the epithelial and lymphoid tissues, have been implicated in viral and bacterial infections. We have identified a TCR-gamma delta clone (TgI4.4) that, unlike TCR-alpha beta cells, recognizes a herpes simplex virus type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein, gI, in an MHC class I- and class II-independent fashion. The TCR of TgI4.4 is composed of rearranged V delta 8 (a V...
