Although precise mechanisms of their antigen uptake have not been well described, Seino et al. demonstrated that activated γδ T cells can phagocytose apoptotic cells and tumor antigens, possibly utilizing the scavenger receptor CD36 in a C/EBPα (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein α)-dependent mechanism and mount a tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cell response [59]. The gene discussed is CEBPA; the disease is neoplasm.
