We previously found that kidney-infiltrating T cells (KITs) in murine lupus nephritis (LN) resembled dysfunctional T cells that infiltrate tumors. This unexpected finding raised the question of how to reconcile the “exhausted” phenotype of KITs with ongoing tissue destruction in LN. To address this,...
