Meet the unconventional T cell crew

They don’t play by the rules, but the immune system wouldn’t work without them.

Beyond the classic T cells we know from textbooks — the ones that drive adaptive immunity by recognizing peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex molecules, there’s a whole other crew out there: unconventional T cells. These specialized cells respond to non-peptide antigens, act rapidly like innate immune cells, and present exciting potential for next generation therapies.
