Linking Innate and Adaptive Immunity: Human Vγ9Vδ2 T Cells Enhance CD40 Expression and HMGB-1 Secretion by Shirin Kalyan, Anthony W. Chow

“…Here we show that the small pool of activated peripheral γδ T cells induces an early upregulation of CD40 on monocytes and the local release of High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB-1), the molecule designated as the late mediator of systemic inflammation. This finding provides a new basis for how γδ T cells may serve as influential modulators of both endogenous and exogenous stress stimuli.…”
