| Comments | In contrast to alphabeta T cells, gammadelta T cells show less TCR diversity, are particularly enriched at epithelial surfaces and appear to respond to self-molecules that signal potential danger or cellular stress. In the mouse, a substantial proportion of T cells reside in the intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) compartments of skin, intestine, and genitourinary tract. |
