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.展开更多
