Peripheral-derived γδT cells activated by gastric tumors can not only effectively kill tumor cells, but also induce the activation and proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+αβT cells through the antigen-presenting cell properties of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells, and enhance the cytotoxic function of CD8+αβT cells (Mao et al., 2014). This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and gastric neoplasm.
