Precursor exhausted CD8+T cells in colorectal cancer tissues associated with patient’s survival and immunotherapy responsiveness
6 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Exhausted CD8+T cells represent a distinct cellular lineage that emerges during both chronic infections and cancers. Recent studies have shown that persistent antigen exposure can drive the differentiation of precursor exhausted CD8+T cells, termed Tpex cells, which are characterized as TCF-1+PD-1+CD8+T cells. Elevated Tpex cell frequencies in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are associated with improved overall...
