“…6, 7 γδT cells, in particular, possess a range of functions that might make them key players in inflammatory airways diseases such as asthma, including maintenance of epithelial tissue homeostasis, 8, 9 modulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, 10, 11, 12 and the ability to contribute to respiratory pathogen control. 13, 14 γδT cells are reportedly enriched in asthmatic airways 15, 16, 17 and, in mouse studies, have been shown to influence AHR and/or airways inflammation in acute and chronic allergic asthma models. 18, 19, 20 However, because differing effects on AHR and allergic inflammation have been described depending on the model, method, timing, or subset of γδT cells manipulated, their function in asthma pathogenesis remains somewhat ambiguous.…”
