Circulating CD103+ γδ and CD8+ T Cells Are Clonally Shared with Tissue-Resident Intraepithelial Lymphocytes in Celiac Disease

Scientists obtained γδ and αβ TCR sequences of >2500 single cells from blood and gut of 5 patients, before and during challenge. We observed extensive sharing between blood and gut γδ and CD8+ αβ T-cell clonotypes even prior to gluten challenge.
