Abstrakt: γδ T cells are generally considered innate-like lymphocytes, however, an "adaptive-like" γδ compartment has now emerged. To understand transcriptional regulation of adaptive γδ T cell immunobiology, we combined single-cell transcriptomics, T cell receptor (TCR)-clonotype assignment, ATAC-seq, and immunophenotyping. We show that adult Vδ1 + T cells segregate into TCF7 + LEF1 + Granzyme B neg (T naive ) or T-bet + Eomes + BLIMP-1 + Granzyme B + (T effector ) transcriptional subtypes, with clonotypically expanded TCRs detected exclusively in T effector cells. Transcriptional reprogramming mirrors changes within CD8 + αβ T cells following antigen-specific maturation and involves chromatin remodeling, enhancing cytokine production and cytotoxicity. Consistent with this, in vitro TCR engagement induces comparable BLIMP-1, Eomes, and T-bet expression in naive Vδ1 + and CD8 + T cells. Finally, both human cytomegalovirus and Plasmodium falciparum infection in vivo drive adaptive Vδ1 T cell differentiation from T naive to T effector transcriptional status, alongside clonotypic expansion. Contrastingly, semi-invariant Vγ9 + Vδ2 + T cells exhibit a distinct "innate-effector" transcriptional program established by early childhood. In summary, adaptive-like γδ subsets undergo a pathogen-driven differentiation process analogous to conventional CD8 + T cells.
