Abstract
In recent decades, abundant methods for targeted tumor cell immunotherapy have been developed. It was recently discovered that excellent curative effects observed in hematological tumors cannot be achieved in solid tumors, as serious side effects will occur. These are all derived from engineered adaptive immune cells, the use of which will bring limitations. γδT cells have a unique ability to respond to a variety of tumor cells while linking innate immunity and adaptive immunity, and thus, they are an ideal source of therapeutic allogeneic cells. This review introduces strategies that can optimize the clinical application of γδT cells to provide novel ideas for adoptive immunotherapy in the future.
Highlights
ΓδT cells are primarily distributed in subcutaneous tissue, intestinal mucosa, the respiratory tract, and the urogenital canal [1]

There are no serious adverse reactions related to γδT cells therapy, which has satisfactory therapeutic effects on hematologic tumors and solid tumors. γδT cells can distinguish tumor cells from healthy cells by sensing the stress signals expressed by tumor cells
