Abstract
Recent attention has focused on T cells expressing the γ/δ-type T cell receptor (TcRl), although the functional role of TcRl + cells remains speculative [1]. In human peripheral blood, TcRl + γ/δ cells are a minority population of CD4− CD8− “double negatives”. In murine intestinal mucosae, a high proportion of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are reported to be CD8+ T cells of the γ/δ type [2,3].
