Gamma-delta T cells ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gamma-delta T cells have unique features that allow them to bridge between the nonspecific and specific immune responses. They express T cell-receptors that can recognize a wide variety of antigens, similar to the receptors found on B cells. They also possess a pattern recognition receptor that allows them to bind to and become activated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), similar to innate immune cells. Additionally, gamma-delta T cells are capable of differentiating into memory cells, which allows for a more rapid and efficient response upon subsequent exposure to the same pathogen.
