Helpless Priming Sends CD8+ T Cells on the Road to Exhaustion

Persistent antigen exposure in chronic infection and cancer has been proposed to lead to cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) “exhaustion”, i.e., loss of effector function and disease control. Recent work identifies a population of poorly differentiated TCF-1+PD-1+ CD8+ T cells as precursors of the terminal...
