It has been reported that gamma delta T cells are activated by bacterial infection, and the cells act in an antibacterial manner. We investigated the immunologic role of gamma delta T cells and their receptors in tuberculosis (TB) patients. We examined gamma delta T cells which express receptors composed of V gamma 9 or V delta 2 chains before and after anti-TB chemotherapy, in vitro changes in T cell receptor expression due to stimulation, and the relationship between the proliferative capability of gamma delta T cells and the clinical data before treatment (10 TB patients and 9 healthy volunteers). The ratio of V gamma 9-positive cells to gamma delta T cells decreased significantly in the 10 TB patients before treatment (p &lt; 0.05). In the in vitro study, the patients with a high pretreatment growth index of V delta 9-positive cells had a significantly increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p &lt; 0.05) and significantly low rates of V gamma 9- and V delta 2-positive gamma delta T cells (p &lt; 0.02). Measurement of the proportion of V gamma 9-positive cells together with their growth index might help to further elucidate the disease process in patients with pulmonary TB.
