Many hematological malignancies consist of tumor cells that are spontaneously recognized and killed by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. These tumor cells generate high amounts of intracellular phosphorylated metabolites mimicking the natural ligands and display a wide range of stress-induced self-ligands that are recognized by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells via TCR-dependent and TCR-independent mechanisms. The intrinsic features of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells and that of tumor cells of hematological origin constitute an ideal combination from which to develop Vγ9Vδ2 T cell-based immune interventions. In this review, we will discuss the rationale, preclinical and clinical data in favor of this therapeutic strategy and the future perspectives of its development.

Abstract

Many hematological malignancies consist of tumor cells that are spontaneously recognized and killed by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells. These tumor cells generate high amounts of intracellular phosphorylated metabolites mimicking the natural ligands and display a wide range of stress-induced self-ligands that are recognized by Vγ9Vδ2 T cells via TCR-dependent and TCR-independent mechanisms. The intrinsic features of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells and that of tumor cells of hematological origin constitute an ideal combination from which to develop Vγ9Vδ2 T cell-based immune interventions. In this review, we will discuss the rationale, preclinical and clinical data in favor of this therapeutic strategy and the future perspectives of its development.
