Catalog Peptides> | For DC co-culture experiments, bone marrow from C57BL/6 mice was incubated with GM-CSF (20 ng/ml) for 6 d to generate mature DCs. Mature DCs were washed and incubated for 5 h at 20,000 cells/well (for culture with magnetically enriched γδ T cells) or 2,500 cells/well (for culture with flowpurified populations) with medium alone (negative control), OVA257–264 (4 µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), OVA323–339 (10 µg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), KLH (10 µg/ml; Calbiochem), or MOG35–55 (10 µg/ml; GenScript). | Get A Quote |
T cells are classically recognized as distinct subsets that express αβ or γδ TCRs. We identify a novel population of T cells that coexpress αβ and γδ TCRs in mice and humans. These hybrid αβ-γδ T cells arose in the murine fetal thymus by day 16 of ontogeny, underwent αβ TCR-mediated positive selection into CD4+ or CD8+ thymocytes, and constituted up to 10% of TCRδ+ cells in lymphoid organs. They expressed high levels of IL-1R1 and IL-23R and secreted IFN-γ, IL-17, and GM-CSF in response to canonically restricted peptide antigens or stimulation with IL-1β and IL-23. Hybrid αβ-γδ T cells were transcriptomically distinct from conventional γδ T cells and displayed a hyperinflammatory phenotyp... More
