title: Antiviral reactivities of gammadelta T cells.
abstract: The complex antiviral immune mechanisms involve both adaptive and innate reactions mediated by gammadelta T lymphocytes, whose unique immunosurveillance contributions are analyzed here in different clinical and experimental settings. It is beyond any doubt that the fast, potent, cytotoxic as well as non-cytolytic antiviral activities of gammadelta T cells are critical in protecting the host against diverse viral pathogens.
