title: gammadelta T cell selection: is anyone useless?
abstract: In this issue of Immunity, a study by Jensen et al. (2008) suggests that T cell-receptor engagement during development affects gammadelta T cell polarization toward either interferon-gamma or interleukin-17 production. This might underlie their unique innate ability to regulate inflammation.
