摘要
Traditionally, the materials which are regarded as antigens recognized by γδ T lymphocytes are protein and carbohydrate, not nucleic acid or lipid. Recently, it has been demonstrated that γδ T cells can recognize lipid A and directly induce immune responses that involve CD1 （cluster of differentiation type 1） family and Toll like receptors （TLRs）. This is a review about the interacting-mechanism, immunological effect and clinical application of them.
