First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Patients with various forms of immunodeficiencies frequently show expansions of γδ T cells in their peripheral blood. We attempted to characterize the γδ T cell subpopulations in these patients and possibly elucidate the cellular mechanisms involved in the γδ T cell expansions in some of these patients.
