Direct presentation of nonpeptide prenyl pyrophosphate antigens to human γδ T cells. of special interest Immunity. 3:1995;495-507 This paper demonstrates that human γδ T cells recognize prenyl pyrophosphate antigens through a novel extracellular pathway. These nonpeptidic antigens do no require the known antigen processing pathways or MHC class I and class II molecules. This independence from processing pathways may permit more rapid antigen recognition allowing an early response of γδ T cells to infectious agents.

These results are in agreement with a role for epithelial γδ T cells in the recognition of damaged or diseased neighboring epithelial cells that is associated with a localized immune response.

Homeostatic regulation of intestinal epithelia by intraepithelial γδ T cells. of outstanding interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 92:1995;6147-6151 Mice lacking γδ T cells, but not αβ-T-cell-deficient animals, showed decreased proliferation of intestinal epithelial stem cells, decreased expression of MHC class II molecules, and abnormal epithelial differentiation in the intestine. This study, and [51], supports a role for intraepithelial γδ T cells in maintaining the integrity of epithelia through the production of epithelial-specific growth factors and other cytokines.

Carson JJ, Vazquez-Torrez A, van der Heyde HC, Warner T, Warner RD, Balish E. γδ T cell-induced nitric oxide production enhances resistance to mucosal candidiasis. of outstanding interest Nat Med. 1:1995;552-557 The early immune response to Candida albicans involves overexpression of nitric oxide by macrophages. This study presents evidence that γδ T cells participate in this response by providing soluble or cell-contact-mediated signals for macrophage activation of nitric oxide synthase expression. Animals lacking γδ T cells, as a result of treatment with anti-pan γδ TCR monoclonal antibodies, were deficient in nitric oxide synthase expression in mucosa and had increased susceptibility to candidiasis. This provides one mechanism allowing γδ T cells to indirectly contribute to the innate immune responses against microorganisms.
