|
| Bioactivity Comments |
| IL-21 has been shown to eliminate glioblastoma multiforme cells via activation of the cytolytic reactivity of Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in vitro and in an in vivo model [2]. These findings suggest that IL-21-sensitized allogeneic human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells might offer a novel immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. |
