ABSTRACT
Gamma delta (γδ) T cells are a heterogeneous population of cells that play roles in inflammation, host tissue repair, clearance of viral and bacterial pathogens, regulation of immune processes, and tumor surveillance. Recent research suggests that these are the main skin cells that produce interleukin-17 (I-17). Furthermore, γδ T cells exhibit memory-cell-like characteristics that mediate repeated episodes of psoriatic inflammation. γδ T cells are found in epithelial tissues, where many cancers develop. There, they participate in antitumor immunity as cytotoxic cells or as immune coordinators. γδ T cells also participate in host defense, immune surveillance, and immune homeostasis. The aim of this review is to present the importance of γδ T cells in physiological and pathological diseases, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and lymphoma.
