gamma delta T-cell receptor (TCR) complex
The TCR gamma delta heterodimer of the CD3/T-cell receptor complex is clonotypic and consists of Ig-like variable and constant domains.1 It is expressed during thymopoiesis and on the small subpopulation of gamma delta TCRexpressing T lymphocytes in the periphery. The majority of T cells present in some epithelial tissues are gamma delta + and have limited receptor diversity.1, 2 The TCR gamma delta heterodimer recognizes peptide antigen bound to MHC antigens, and subsequent signal transduction mediated by the invariant chains leads to T cell activation.3 The monoclonal antibody UC7-13D5 is specific for the gamma delta heterodimer and plate-bound UC7-13D5 activates gamma delta TCR-bearing cells.4-7 This antibody does not react with alpha beta TCR-expressing T cells.
