CD8A and neoplasm: In B16 melanoma, IFN-γ produced by γδT cells serves as an early and important source of IFN-γ in tumor immune surveillance, plays a critical role in protecting immune responses against tumor development, and modulates tumor antigen-triggered CD4+ and CD8+ T cells response, thereby enhancing the recognition and potency of cytotoxic T cells against cancer cells (Khan et al., 2014).
