Human ovarian tumor cells escape γδ T cell recognition partly by down regulating surface expression of MICA and limiting cell cycle related molecules.

Mechanisms of human Vγ2Vδ2 T cell-mediated tumor immunity have yet to be fully elucidated.At least some tumor cell recognition is mediated by NKG2D-MICA interactions. Herein, by using MTT assay and PI-BrdU co-staining and Western-blot, we show that these Vγ2Vδ2 T cells can limit the proliferation of...
