Abstract
γδ T cells have recently raised great interest as effector cells in cancer immunotherapy because of their HLA-independent mode of action and their broad tumor reactivity. To translate the application of γδ T cells into clinically effective immunotherapies, specific tumor targeting and/or boosting of γδ T-cell activation in vivo seem to be a critical step. In this issue, Le Floch and colleagues report a new strategy for enabling γδ T cells to be specifically activated to kill acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells and solid tumor cells using agonistic BTN2A1 antibodies. See related article by Le Floch et al., p. 1677.
γδT细胞作为癌症免疫疗法的效应细胞,因其不依赖于HLA的作用模式和广泛的肿瘤反应性,最近引起了人们的极大兴趣。要将γδT细胞的应用转化为临床有效的免疫疗法,体内特异性肿瘤靶向和/或增强γδT细胞活化似乎是关键的一步。在本期杂志中,Le Floch 及其同事报告了一种新策略,利用激动剂 BTN2A1 抗体特异性激活γδ T 细胞以杀死急性淋巴细胞白血病细胞和实体瘤细胞。参见 Le Floch 等人的相关文章,第 XX 页。
