CD8+ T cell exhaustion and its regulatory mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment: key to the success of immunotherapy
A steady dysfunctional state caused by chronic antigen stimulation in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is known as CD8+ T cell exhaustion. Exhausted-like CD8+ T cells (CD8+ Tex) displayed decreased effector and proliferative capabilities, elevated co-inhibitory receptor generation, decreased cytotox...
