Epithelial tissues house gammadelta T cells, which are important for the mucosal immune system and may be involved in controlling malignancies, infections and inflammation. Whole-genome gene-expression analysis provides a new way to study the signals required for the activation of gammadelta T cells, their mode of action and relationships among cells of the mucosal immune system.
