Abstract
Gamma-delta T cells (γδ T cells) play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immunity within tumors, yet their presence and prognostic value in cancer remain underexplored. This study presents a large-scale analysis of γδ T cell receptor (γδ TCR) reads from 11,000 tumor samples spanning 33 cancer types, utilizing the TRUST4 algorithm. Our findings reveal extensive diversity in γδ TCR clonality and gene expression, underscoring the potential of γδ T cells as prognostic biomarkers in various cancers. We further demonstrate the utility of TCR gamma (TRG) and delta (TRD) gene expression from standard RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data. This comprehensive dataset offers a valuable resource for advancing γδ T cell research, with implications for enhanced immunotherapy approaches or alternative therapeutic strategies. Additionally, our centralized database supports translational research into the therapeutic significance of γδ T cells.

期刊介绍:
Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine.
Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
