Many cancer immune therapy approaches depend on an HLA-restricted neoantigen-specific T cell response. AUs show here that Zoledronic acid can expand, and induce tumour recognition by, a population of tissue resident memory gamma-delta T cells associated with an efficient anti-tumour immune response in hepatocellular carcinoma.
