Background: Phosphoisoprenoid stimulation of V␥9V␦2 T cells can be modulated by anti-BTNA3 antibodies. Results: Agonist and antagonist antibodies associate differently with BTN3A structurally and biophysically. Conclusion: Differential binding of antibodies to BTN3A modulates its oligomerization on the cell surface. Significance: Defining how ␥␦ T cells recognize antigen is critical for understanding their functions in the immune response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
