Tumor-infiltrating CD62L+PD-1-CD8 T cells retain proliferative potential via Bcl6 expression and replenish effector T cells within the tumor.

Tumor antigen-primed CD8 T cells differentiate into effector T cells that kill tumor cells rapidly, whereas durable responses of CD8 T cells are required to cope with long-lasting tumor growth. However, it is not well known how persisting CD8 T cells are generated. In this study, we analyzed CD8 T c...
