Allogeneic Gamma Delta T-cells GDKM-100

**Semantic type:** Cell|Pharmacologic Substance

**Definition:** A preparation of a subset of allogeneic T-lymphocytes that express only gamma chain and delta chain T-cell receptors (TCRs), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of the allogeneic gamma delta T-cells GDKM-100, these cells secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-g) and exert direct killing of tumor cells. In addition, these cells activate the immune system to exert a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against tumor cells. Gamma delta T-lymphocytes play a key role in the activation of the immune system and do not require major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mediated antigen presentation to exert their cytotoxic effect.

**Synonyms:** - Allogeneic Gamma-delta T Cells GDKM-100 - GDKM 100 - GDKM-100 - GDKM100
