Human γδ T cells expressing Vγ9Vδ2 T cell receptors exert a robust response to pathogens and malignant cells. These cells are activated by BTN3A1, which is expressed by pathogen-derived phosphoantigens (pAgs) or host-derived pAgs that accumulate in transformed cells or in cells exposed to aminobisphosphonates. Activated Vδ2 (+) T cells exert multiple effector functions; therefore, they are a promising candidate for immunotherapy. However, not all donors have γδ T cells with adequate proliferative activity. Here, we performedex vivoculture of γδ T cells from 20 healthy donors and explored factors that may affect their expansion efficiency. Consistent with previous studies, we found that amplification of γδ T cells requires CD14+monocytes to act as accessory cells. We also show here that surface expression of BTN3A1 by monocytes correlates positively with γδ T cell expansion. Moreover, treatment with BTN3A1-Fc increased the expansion efficiency of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from donors harboring γδ T cells with poor expansion capacity. Taken together, the data suggest that the level of BTN3A1 expressed on the surface of monocytes is a useful biomarker for predicting the degree of expansion of γδ T cells.
