👥Biography 个人简介
Daniel Olive is a world-leading expert on gamma-delta (γδ) T cells in cancer immunosurveillance and immunotherapy. His laboratory has made foundational contributions to understanding how Vγ9Vδ2 T cells recognize phosphoantigens (IPP/HMBPP) upregulated on tumor cells and mediate potent cytotoxicity independent of MHC restriction. He has led clinical development of γδ T cell-based immunotherapies including adoptive transfer and bisphosphonate-based expansion protocols in multiple cancers.
🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
Phosphoantigen Recognition
Defined the molecular mechanism by which Vγ9Vδ2 TCR recognizes isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) presented by butyrophilin 3A1 (BTN3A1) on tumor cells, enabling MHC-unrestricted tumor killing.
Butyrophilin Biology
Led discovery of BTN3A1 and BTN2A1 as the molecular complex presenting phosphoantigens to γδ T cells, resolving a 30-year mystery in γδ T cell antigen recognition with major therapeutic implications.
Clinical Translation
Pioneered zoledronate-expanded autologous Vγ9Vδ2 T cell infusion trials in renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and multiple myeloma, establishing safety and early efficacy signals.
