Abstract

A gamma delta T cell acquires functional properties in response to the gamma delta T cell receptor gamma delta TCR signal strength during its development in the thymus. The elucidation of the potential ligands of gamma delta T cell receptors are of extreme importance; however, they are still not understood. Here we revise the actual state of the art of candidates to exert the function of gamma delta TCR ligands, and propose a theoretical contribution about new potential ligands of gamma delta TCRs, based on biological and hypothetical pieces of evidence in the literature. In conclusion, we hypothetically suggest a possible role of induced antibodies according to the individual's immune status, mainly of the IgG subclass, acting as gamma delta TCR ligands. Considering that IgG production is involved in some essential immunotherapy protocols, and almost all vaccination protocols, our discussion opens a new and broad field to further exploration. (AU)
