Target Details for TCR gamma/delta

Target: TCR gamma/delta (T-Cell Receptor gamma/delta (TCR gamma/delta))

Alternative Name: T Cell Receptor / TCR gamma/delta

Background: T cell receptors (TCR) recognize foreign antigens which have been processed as small peptides and bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules at the surface of antigen presenting cells (APC). Each T cell receptor is a dimer consisting of one alpha and one beta chain or one delta and one gamma chain. Unlike human and mouse, in which gamma/delta cells comprise a minor subset of T lymphocytes in the circulation, the chicken has a relatively large subset of gamma/delta T cells. The frequency of TCR gamma/delta cells is usually 20-25 % of the total blood T cells, but may reach approximately 50 % in chickens of 6 months of age. The majority of TCRgamma/delta+ cells in the thymus and blood are CD4-CD8-, although a small subset of them may express CD8 or CD4 coreceptors. However, when the TCRgamma/delta+ cells migrate into the spleen and intestine, most of them begin to express CD8. Although the biological function of gamma/delta T cells is unclear, they are clearly capable of cytotoxic activity in vitro. The CD8+ gamma/delta T cells may also be involved in down-regulation of the immune response. They cannot, however, induce a graft-vs-host (GVH) reactions.Synonyms: T-Cell Receptor delta, T-Cell Receptor gamma, T-Cell Receptor gamma delta, T-cell receptor T3 gamma/delta, T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 gamma/delta, TCRD, TCRG
