title: Multifunctional γδ T cells and their receptors for targeted anticancer immunotherapy.
abstract: Human γδ T cells possess broad antitumor reactivity and are involved in the control of viral infections. We have recently described multifunctional γδ T cells induced by cytomegalovirus after allogenic stem cell transplantation, placing γδ T cells and their receptors in the spotlight for the development of novel anticancer immunotherapies.
