Abstract

About 1–5% of human blood T cells are Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. Their hallmark is the expression of T cell antigen receptors (TCR) whose γ-chains contain a rearrangement of Vγ9 with JP (TRGV9JP or Vγ2Jγ1.2) and are paired with Vδ2 (TRDV2)-containing δ-chains. These TCRs respond to phosphoantigens (PAg) such as (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP), which is found in many pathogens, and isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), which accumulates in certain tumors or cells treated with aminobisphosphonates such as zoledronate. Until recently, these cells were believed to be restricted to primates, while no such cells are found in rodents. The identification of three genes pivotal for PAg recognition encoding for Vγ9, Vδ2, and butyrophilin (BTN) 3 in various non-primate species identified candidate species possessing PAg-reactive Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. Here, we review the current knowledge of the molecular basis of PAg recognition. This not only includes human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells and the recent discovery of BTN2A1 as Vγ9-binding protein mandatory for the PAg response but also insights gained from the identification of functional PAg-reactive Vγ9Vδ2 T cells and BTN3 in the alpaca and phylogenetic comparisons. Finally, we discuss models of the molecular basis of PAg recognition and implications for the development of transgenic mouse models for PAg-reactive Vγ9Vδ2 T cells.

  • Vγ9Vδ2+ T cells remain responsive to both pyrophosphate antigens (pAg) and anti-CD3 stimulation.

    “Notably, Vγ9Vδ2+ T cells remain responsive to both pyrophosphate antigens (pAg) and anti-CD3 stimulation, a feature that underlies their potential use in several cancer immunotherapy applications (24), and they also exhibit the potential for further TCR-mediated plasticity (25).”

    From Comparing Mouse and Human Tissue-Resident γδ T Cells (2022) · cites this paper as [24]

    Section 2.3 states that Vγ9Vδ2 T cells respond to phosphoantigens. Section 3.1 reports anti-CD3-triggered IL-2 production, but in murine reporter cells transduced with a Vγ9Vδ2 TCR, not in Vγ9Vδ2 T cells themselves. The paper therefore supports the phosphoantigen response but not the anti-CD3 claim at the population level stated. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

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.
