Lymphocytes express two types of TCRs, either a/f (1-3) or y/b (4). The genes encoding the TCR y and b chains are composed of V, D, J, and C regions that undergo somatic rearrangement during development (5, 6). There are only eight functional Vy gene segments and perhaps 5-10 functional VS gene segments identified in humans (6). While the specificity ofthe TCR-,y/b is poorly understood, the limited germline diversity suggested that TCR-y/b-bearing lymphocytes might recognize an-tigen in the context of relatively nonpolymorphic antigen-presenting molecules (6). Recently, alloreactive TCR-, y/b cells specific for MHC class I and class II gene products , as well as class I-like gene products (Tla and Qa), have been described (7-9). The distinct nature ofthe TCR-y/b, the fact that lymphocytes that bear it frequently lack CD4 and CD8, and the non-MHC-restricted recognition of tumor targets by some TCR-,y/b cells (10), led us to suggest that these TCRs might recognize cell surface molecules not encoded in the MHC (10). It was recently demonstrated that a human TCR-,y/b clone can recognize non-MHC-encoded CD1 antigens that might serve as novel antigen-presenting molecules for CD4-8-T cells (11). In addition, some of the specific antigens that y/b T cells can recognize have been identified, such as mycobacterial antigens (including heat-shock-proteins) (12-16) and tetanus toxoid (17). TCR-,y/6' lymphocytes expand markedly in number in lymphoid organs and in tissue lesions in response to the mycobacterial antigens (13, 15). TCR-, y/b cells comprise ti5% (0.5-20%) of the CD3+ cells in human peripheral blood and in lymphoid tissues (18-20). However, in mice, TCR-, y/b cells preferen
