Gammadelta (gammadelta) T cells expressing the Vgamma2-Jgamma1.2Vdelta2 (Vgamma9-JPVdelta2, alternate nomenclature) T cell receptor (TCR) constitute the major peripheral blood population of gammadelta T cells in adult humans and are specifically depleted during human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Vgamma2-Jgamma1.2Vdelta2 T cells provide a convenient model for assessing the impact of antiretroviral therapy on cell populations that are not susceptible to direct infection because they do no ...[more]
