✦ Synopsis

Findings made during the past few years demonstrate that y8 T cells apparently share with macrophages a propensity to recognize nonpeptidic molecules of the kind most commonly associated with microorganisms and stressed cells. In general, recognition of these antigens by y8 T cells involves the antigen receptor but does not require antigen presenting cells to express MHC gene products or to have a functional antigen processing machinery. Other recent advances continue to support the notion that y8 T cells can perform specialized functions related to the repair of tissue damage.

Recent evidence suggests that the ordered appearance of these sublineages during development is a result of programed rearrangement of Vy-gene segments. It appears that the
