Abstract:
Objective:The study focuses on the distinct distributions of γδT cells in various tissues and the changes after Sal-monella typhimurium infection,and attempts to explore the physiological significance of γδT cell distribution and the role of γδT cells in infectious diseases .Methods:Flow cytometry and PCR technique were used to detect the proportion of different γδ T cell subsets among thymus,spleen,lymph nodes,liver,skin,and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes .Flow cytometry was applied to detect the secretion of IFN-γand IL-17a.The changes of various γδT cell subsets in liver and intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes were analyze after Slamonella typhimurium infection.Res ults: γδ T cells were rich in the intestinal epithelium , skin and liver, but poor in the thymus,spleen and lymph nodes .The distribution of different subsets was quite dissimilar .Vγ5+γδT cells chiefly existed in skin ,and Vγ1+,Vγ4+,Vγ7+γδ T cells largely existed in small intestine.γδ T cells in liver mainly secreted IL-17a;however,γδ T cells in intestinal intraepithelial secreted IFN-γ.After infection by Salmonella typhimurium , the proportion of γδ T cells in intestinal intraepithelial increased significantly ,particularly Vγ1 +γδT cells.In Liver,there was no significant change of total γδT cell ratio,but the ratio of Vγ1 +γδT cells reduced ,Vγ4 +γδT cells raised.Conclusi on:γδT cells are rich in the intestinal epithelium ,skin and liv-er.The distribution of different subgroups has specificity .There are large differences in the ability of cytokine secretion among various subgroups of γδT cells.The distribution of γδT cell subgroups in small intestine and liver changes during Salmonella typhimurium in-fection.
