Abstract

The gamma delta T-cell specific orphan" receptor, WC1, is able to induce G1 growth arrest in proliferating IL-2 dependent gamma delta T-cells and as such may therefore play an important role in the regulation of gamma delta T-cell biology. This is being examined in detail and should provide further insight into the signalling mechanisms through which the activated orphan receptor, WC1, functions within the context of gamma delta T-cell biology by inducing G1 growth arrest in proliferating IL-2 dependent gamma delta T-cells.
