The Vγ9 TCR is a variant of the TCR γ chain expressed on a subset of γ/δ T cells. Vγ9Vδ2 T lymphocytes, a major γ/δ T cell subset in humans, recognize phosphoantigens, certain tumor cells, and cells treated with aminobisphosphonates. This cell population displays cytolytic activity against various tumor cells. The γ/δ TCR is a heterodimeric TCR complex composed of covalently bound γ and δ chains involved in antigen recognition and the non-covalently associated monomorphic proteins CD3δ, γ, ε, and ζ chains.

The B3 antibody reacts specifically with human TCR Vγ9 as designated by the Lefranc/Foster nomenclature system. Human TCR Vγ9 is also known as TCR Vγ2 under the Strauss, Quertermous nomenclature system.

Several TCR γ and δ chain nomenclature systems exist. In order to consolidate the various nomenclature systems, we have created charts for corresponding names across some of the most popular naming methods. Click here to see charts.
