Activated naïve γδ T cells accelerate deep molecular response to BCR-ABL inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia

Abstract Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that target BCR-ABL are the frontline treatments in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Growing evidence has shown that TKIs also enhance immunity. Since gamma-delta T (γδT) cells possess the potent anticancer capability, here we investigated the potential invo...
