Tóm tắt

Kết luận, số lượng lớn các nghiên cứu về tế bào T γδ ở người đã chỉ ra rằng những lymphocyte này chia sẻ một số đặc điểm chung với tế bào T αβ, đồng thời cũng có nhiều đặc tính độc đáo. Một số cuộc điều tra có lẽ đã chịu ảnh hưởng từ việc so sánh liên tục với quần thể tế bào T αβ, điều này đã ngăn cản các phương pháp thực nghiệm mới và độc đáo. Tuy nhiên, khối lượng công việc khổng lồ này đã cung cấp những manh mối vững chắc để xác định vai trò của tế bào T γδ ở người trong các bệnh lý. Ngoài ra, chúng ta cũng đã học hỏi thêm về tính linh hoạt cực độ của hệ thống miễn dịch và khả năng đa hình của nó trong việc thích ứng và nhận dạng các phân tử ngoại lai.
