T lymphocyte subpopulations in congenital cytomegalovirus infection.

abstract：:gammadelta T cells are considered crucial to the outcome of various infectious diseases. The present study was undertaken to characterize gammadelta (T-cell receptor 1(+) [TCR1(+)]) T cells phenotypically and functionally in avian immune response.
