Expansion of TCR γδ cells with the phenotype of Vγ9− in the repeated experiments. In both cord blood (CB) mononuclear cells (MNC) and adult blood MNC, TCR γδ cells were induced in the culture with rIL-2. At this time, Vγ9− cells were 89.4 ± 4.4% in induced γδ T cells in the case of CB. This result was striking when compared with that for adult blood (n = 8).
