A predominance of the T cell receptor V gamma 2/V delta 2 subset in human mycobacteria-responsive T cells suggests germline gene encoded recognition

Little is known about the nature of Ag recognition by the TCR-gamma delta. The recent observation that gamma delta T cells preferentially recognize mycobacterial Ag provides a model to examine the molecular basis of gamma delta-TCR recognition. Here, examination of the Mycobacteria-stimulated peripheral blood T cells with TCR-specific mAb revealed a predominance of T cells bearing V gamma 2/V delta 2 gene products. PCR cloning and sequence analysis of the TCR chains demonstrated extensive junctional diversity indicating that the response was polyclonal. The marked in vitro gamma delta T cell response to Mycobacteria was also detected in newborns before encounters with foreign Ag and exclusively involved the same V-gene usage observed in adults. Together, these results suggest that a major mechanism of gamma delta T cell reactivity involves recognition mediated by germline-encoded segments of the TCR.
