Modulation of Epithelial Cell Growth by Intraepithelial γδ T Cells
Abstract
The role played in immune surveillance by γδ T cells residing in various epithelia has not been clear. It is shown here that activated γδ T cells obtained from skin and intestine express the epithelial cell mitogen keratinocyte growth factor (KGF). In contrast, intraepithelial αβ T cells, as well as all lymphoid αβ and γδ T cell populations tested, did not produce KGF or promote the growth of cultured epithelial cells. These results suggest that intraepithelial γδ T cells function in surveillance and in repair of damaged epithelial tissues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
